A note from The_Jazz, because he can't post here:
"A friend of mine was kidnapped, raped and killed about 14 years ago after her car broke down on her way to school. She was on an interstate in an extremely rural area, but she didn't have a cell phone. She was picked up by a trucker (died of unrelated causes before he could be arrested) who likely kept her alive for several days before dumping her body 2 states away. Her name was Tammy Zwycki.
If she had been carrying her cell phone, she likely would still be alive today.
Anyone who is out for a walk or a run or just going from point A to point B should carry identification on them, and, in this day and age, a working cell phone (provided they have one). If your car breaks down, enter a number where you know someone will pick up (911 is an option but not always the best one) if you approached by a stranger. Hit "enter" if you have to.
Thanks for the help. Hopefully this is advice no one on this board ever has to use."
Thanks Jazz.
