As a dad with a daughter, Im always on alert...

Your dad has a very special set of skills that he has developed over a long career
OldnFatBobba
Drinking saves lives, folks.
CptBronson
"A chilling cold case of a famous girl"? Thats not vague and unconvincing at all.
szepasszony
Why not ask the dad why he suspected something?
Lordvice
Situational awareness is something that I preach to my family and friends especially the women. Your Dad was well aware of the surroundings
Copperbrat
I agree. Two decent books I give/loan on the subject: Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, and The Gift Of Fear by Gavin de Becker.

This is why employers shouldn’t ask their employees to park far away in the parking lot.

Especially in what seems like a fairly empty lot. Highly unlikely for only a few cars in a lot and one just so happens to be next to yours.

And if it was snowing outside and that late,it would be weird if the van was that close with no snow on it. That was probably the first tip.
tothe9ines
Ya I was thinking the same, a van parked like that would look like it was sticking out of the spot. Dad prolly noticed that first.
ImaginaryMamboNumber5
Sliding side door. Vans don't have an engine bay that sticks out much so it would line up with a pre-cell phone drivers door pretty well.

If the car were parked facing N & the van parked facing S, the drivers’ sides would be facing each other & front/rear doors aligned.
marktheshark911
that's if it is a minivan with a side door on the driver's side as well...not a kidnappers van, I'm afraid
grimwalker
Most with sliding doors are minivans. Large “kidnappers vans” favor hinged doors due to sheer size. But you may have more experience?

Don't even approach the car if it's late and there's a car right next to yours, just ask someone to walk you there or watch you.

GingerLaird
Always prepare a method of self-defense and be prepared to use it at a moments notice.
HughLaurie
It would be very difficult to pull out a screaming person clutching the steering wheel, and if there's a firearm, locking won't help.
CharmanderShepard
And check the back seat. ALWAYS!
SadHedgehog
No need. Once my door shuts, any attempt to open it locks it. Central locking is screwed.
YeOldScallywag
Also if your car has a setting to only unlock the driver door when being unlocked then use it.
DimmestLemming
General tip for everyone. Don't make above necessary

Also, don't leave your vehicle unlocked.

Another good safety tip is don't abduct and murder people. Applies a bit more to men than women.

SerialKitten666
But that's because they make up most of gangs and aren't as afraid to walk alone at night as women are...so they're the only ones outside>
SerialKitten666
also murder/assault/robbery is overwhelmingly committed by other men. They just look for easy targets so if you're outside, you're it :(
ThatGuyVinny
Pretty sure it stands true for random street crime too, as in muggings car jackings etc etc. still statistically low(1/2)
ThatGuyVinny
chance overall Men aren't thought to be paranoid(2/2)
Loser37
"Street crime" varies. What we're talking about is abduction and presumably sex crimes, which overwhelmingly affect women
ThatGuyVinny
All I said was that it's more dangerous for the avg man to be outside than it is for women, didn't expect to be downvoted for it, odd world

All I did was clarify the type of crime we're referencing. Not that odd.

If someone is literally sat there waiting for you, you won't even have time to open the door before you're dragged in the van...

That's why you enter through the other side of your car, lock, switch seats. Haul ass. Ain't nobody got time to call the cops.

ParryLost
We live in a world where women going around just living, doing normal ordinary stuff, always have to be mentally prepared for an attack.

Even if you assume everyone wants guns, carrying guns is not legal everywhere. In my state, it's basically impossible to get a carry permit.

Well that's why you should support the NRA and not elect liberal politicians on the state level, here in VA gun laws are relatively lax.
