Freaky!

All of this happened within 30 seconds.

I was stopped at an intersection waiting at a red light. When I pulled up to stop, I saw a woman standing on the corner. I didn't know if she wanted to use the crosswalk, so I made sure to park behind it. The woman ran across the street the other way, while traffic had the green light. Once she was on the other side, she decided to run back across the street. She didn't wait for the light to change from green to red, she just went. Oncoming traffic had to jam on their brakes to avoid hitting her. Once she was back on the corner near me, I saw her walking up to my car. I thought for a second to roll down my window to ask if she needed help, but I decided not to. She walked up to my car, lifted up the door handle and tried to open the door. I was shocked. I started yelling, "Don't open my door!" At that point the light changed to green and I accelerated away from her. As I was driving away, I looked in the rear view mirror and saw she tried to get into the car behind me. They also continued on without stopping. As soon as I got to the next stoplight, I took out my cell phone and called the police. I told them that a woman just tried to open my door at a stoplight. They said they received a couple of calls about that. I described the woman. She had blonde hair, glasses and was wearing a white sweater and blue jeans. She fit the description. They said someone was on the way.

I found out about the woman later. She thought sharpshooters were after her with the orders "Shoot to kill." Okay.....

I'm so glad that my car doors automatically lock when I put my car into drive.
