A terrible week - Grace Millane. About 6 years ago I lived on a corner block in Hamilton East and a car with young men in would cruise around the block during the day. I thought they maybe checking out our homes to burgle. I noticed 2 pretty young girls walking past one day and the same car appeared out of nowhere. The male passenger got out and opened the back door and indicated to the girls to jump in. I raced out of my front door and yelled at the girls and they stopped. The male jumped back in the car and they took off. The girls were 12 and 13 - sisters and dressed up like 18 year olds. It turned out that their father was very hard of them and they thought that they would be ok with these cruising creeps. I was travelling through my local town outskirts last year and saw a scruffy man pulling a woman inside a door to an unused warehouse. I stopped and called out to her "are you alright". She said yes. I asked again, in case he was forcing her and she said "it's ok just an argument". He had released her and I felt if she was not ok she could run to my car. I drove off, and still feel guilty for not getting out of my car and making sure but I am on the wrong side of 65 and did not have my phone on me. Please if you see anything you think is "off" don't worry about making a fool of yourself. Better to do that than not help someone in real danger. Rest in Peace Grace. I am so sorry that you came here and will not fulfill your bucket list and live a long life.
