A year before Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper, began killing various young women around the Yorkshire Dales, my mum and her friend were 15 years old and had been out for the day somewhere and decided to hitchike home.
They were picked up by a man who identified himself as peter and offered to take the girls home. They drove home quietly approaching the housing estate where my mum and her friend lived, but he carried on driving despite their yells to stop. Eventually one of them grabbed him and yelled at him to stop, and as the car slowed them both jumped out and ran home.
A year later Peter Sutcliffe, Aka the Yorkshire Ripper, began killing young women around Yorkshire who he picked up in his car.

It worries me to this day that my mum could have been the first victim of the Yorkshire Ripper, but I am thankful that she wasn't. This is a true story.

Ironically, my mum was in the Yorkshire filth.
It's related, remotely as it may me. Heh
When my mum was in the filth (sorry, English_Bloke) back in the 60s, she had to arrest a male flasher. He was swinging his bits around as they approached him.
Sorry to turn this serious thread about what awful things could have happened into something daft, but it just reminded me of it. I saw the police report my mum had to write about it.

Bullet, did your family always live in and around leeds too?
It was just on my mind really, thought I would get it written down.
What prompted you to write about this anyway, out of curiosity?
Another true story:
My Mum and Gran were in the City Centre one night, waiting at the Bus Stop to come home. This guy came up to them and started chatting to them, eventually offering to give them a lift home. They told him where to go and got on the next bus home. A few days/weeks (not sure which) later, it turned out that man was the Yorkshire Ripper.
Very disturbing when you think how close to home these dangers can be!
