Were you ever nearly kidnapped when you were younger?

When I was about 12 I was outside my house playing swingball, I could hear a car driving up our country road very slowly. When the car got closer to me it stopped and my a man got out and he went to climb over our garden hedge. I ran away into my house and he sped away.

Anyone have a similar experience?

When I was about 5-6 I was living in a small house quite deep in the country. At about 8-9 one summers evening my parents got a knock at the door. They answered it and outside were 2 people a man and a woman claiming to be child services here to take away the three kids. Needless to say my parents were quick to tell them where to go. The next day my mum reported it to the Gardai and it turns we weren't the only ones to get such a visit

I was thumbing home once on winter's evening when I was about 15.
A car stopped and the man got out to let me in the boot as it was a two door job.

There was another man in the front and both had heavy northern accents. I thought for a few miles they might be some loyalist fellas down south to kidnap some young catholic lad.

Not sure why Ithought it but it crossed my mind maybe because I was trapped in the back. No such drama though and they me let out no bother where I wanted so if you're reading.....thanks lads.

Yep a few times, right outside the house as well. Pure daylight in a housing estate. Id say it was 1983 or 84.

There was a man in a white van outside my house once. Odds are it was a kidnapper.

Nope, it took years and years of child tears to rust that car!

Yes, I was about six. My father owning his own company, a couple of local wannabe gangsters decide he was easy pickings, we weren't rich but the tax write off company Jaguar parked in the drive begged to differ.

Anyway, these lads decided they would snatch me from school and managed to grab me. I woke up in the back of a van.

My parents received a ransom note requesting 5 grand. My dad put in a counter offer of 10 grand if they would keep me. I was dropped off the next day.
