Creepy New Moon Craigslist Missed Abduction Connection

Posted on 28 November 2009

I have to tell you about something I stumbled upon on the OKC Craigslist last night. Sometimes I read the missed connections for fun. They can be cute, sweet, disgusting, desperate, or downright disturbing. Let’s just say that Creepy McCreeperson lives on Craigslist. (FYI the Harkins Theater is the one in Bricktown in OKC)

Subject: New Moon midnight showing – m4w- 30 (Harkins theater)
I sat behind you at the midnight showing of New Moon a couple of nights ago. Me: medium height, dark hair, and mysterious. You: straight long blond hair, full ruby lips, you were wearing black cargo pants and a twilight hoodie. as your hair draped down behind your seat i just has to hold it and smell it deeply(pantene. great choice). i dont remember much of the movie but i will always remember the smell and texture of your hair. the way you sound when you whisper and laugh. after the movie i followed you and your friend to IHOP. i waited outside in my car so i could watch you eat and smile. i followed you home and made sure you got there safely.i noticed you left you car unlocked so i went to have a look into your life. i can tell by looking in your car that we have a lot in common. if you want your dash ornaments back you will have to meet me and we can have a great time getting to know each other. “grin”

I hope this is intended as a “joke” (possibly poking fun at the crazy stalking tendencies of one Edward Cullen), but there’s nothing funny about it. If it’s fake, you’re sick and you’re making light of a very serious situation wherein a woman has her life, home, and safety violated. If it’s real, well, it serves as a cautionary tale. There’s some weird dudes out there. Even if this person is kidding, there are guys out there who do this kind of thing. I don’t know what kind of precautions to tell you to take, but the scenario certainly is an eye-opener for me. Rarely when I have been out with a group of women or just one other am I on alert for things like this. I don’t think we need to live in fear of people who do this sort of thing, but I think we should do our best to be aware and keep our heads up.

*shudder*

Euw. I hope this is a joke, but at the same time, it is a sick one.

1: Ewwww!

2: Shiver, there on your blog. How is it? I followed Maggie when she was blogging about art instead of writing and am happy to see she is succeeding. I’ve been hesitant to read new things lately but that one has been on my radar.

As someone who has been victim of a stalker, I have to say that you are so right on about this. For those who haven’t heard of or been initiated into the ‘A Creepy Guy Stalked Me Throughout College And I Never Knew It’ club, it’s really tempting to laugh at a creepy listing on Craigslist and not give it a second thought. I know that I was once that way. But when you think about the possibility of it being serious… and I agree that women need to think and be a little bit aware of these types of things… let’s just say that you’re much better off if you’re not further victimizing yourself through your own naivete, because that way you can stop something before it becomes a problem.

Sorry for de-lurking with a morbid PSA, by the way. I love your blog!

*shudders* It sounds too specific to be fake. Does anyone keep their car unlocked any more?
