Have you heard about the recent stories circulating online? Women are coming across random water bottles on their cars or finding strange markings outside their homes, and it’s causing concern.
Viral videos suggest that these may be tactics used by kidnappers and traffickers targeting women. The code “1F” is believed to indicate “one female,” using the water bottle as bait to lure women out of their cars.
One such video shows a woman filming a car with a wire attached to the door handle in a parking lot. The caption reads, “WTF is this a joke? Someone better not get kidnapped.” To everyone’s surprise, a second vehicle with a wire wrapped around its handle is revealed.\
In response to these alarming videos, a man posted a TikTok video explaining that putting a zip-tie, wire, or thread on a car door is a common tactic used by those seeking to abduct women. He refers to it as “one of the oldest tricks in the book.” The wire is twisted around the handle to make it harder to remove quickly, giving thieves and kidnappers an opportunity to strike.
However, it’s essential to keep things in perspective. The “wire trick” was first mentioned in a Facebook post back in 2015. Canadian police, where the post originated, confirmed that no kidnappings had occurred as a result of this tactic. Organizations fighting against human trafficking have also not recognized the “wire trick” as a trend.
Some experts dismiss these social media warnings as nothing more than urban legends or scare tactics. They emphasize that traffickers primarily operate online and target individuals they know, rather than strangers.
While it’s always important to be cautious and aware of our surroundings, it’s equally important not to let fear take over. Stay informed, trust your instincts, and seek help when needed. Together, we can create a safer community for everyone.
Jennifer Garner trying to save ex-husband Ben Affleck’s marriage to Jennifer Lopez – wants to ‘keep them together,’ says source
According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, Ben Affleck’s ex-wife and mother of his children, Jennifer Garner, is “encouraging Ben to work on his marriage to Jen” amid persistent accusations that the couple is having marital problems.
“[Garner] fully supports their relationship and wants nothing more than for him to be happy,” the insider continued. The reason for this is that, despite the fact that Garner views Afflek as “a complicated guy” and that their marriage failed, the two have always been quite cooperative with regard to their children, Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
Furthermore, according to certain media sources, Lopez approached Garner on her own because she believed that the actress was “one of the only people in the world who would understand what she is going through.”
In a 2020 New York Times interview, Affleck said that his drinking had made his “marital problems” with Garner worse.
He added at the time, “People with compulsive behavior—me included—have this kind of constant, basic discomfort that they’re trying to get rid of.” “You’re attempting to use food, booze, sex, gambling, shopping, or any other activity to help yourself feel better. However, that only makes everything worse in the end. Then, in an attempt to ease the ache, you continue doing it. Then the really suffering begins.
“It turns into an unbreakable vicious cycle,” he went on. “It’s the least that occurred to me.”
Affleck did not attend the premiere of his wife’s new film, Atlas, earlier this week.
