[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 438839, member: 4264"] Star, all good advice and I'm sure if police find a connection or hint at the possibility, many here will be doing things such as you mentioned. For now there is no official comments coming, just speculation by residents at how odd it is to have it happen as it is, in our town, etc. I think it scary to ever even think a madman might be taking people anywhere, let alone if someone like that is operating in our own area. As for myself and my loved ones, we're all very hermited lol. We are just such a quiet bunch and honestly exposure doesn't occur much lol. Given that my first ever vehicle is a van I purchased in the fall that still isn't ready to get certified (need more $$), we still don't drive. Rarely I will take a bus, but that is only if S/O, easy child and I cross town together to go to the movie theater that is far away. Otherwise we're in our neighbourhood, smack in town, and we do walk around but in limited ways. I do my grocery shopping with S/O since physically I need the help, we walk there together. Many times, most times, I can't physically walk places even to the nearby stores. We mostly take taxis when we are going out, to the mall or grocery shopping etc. It's costly but necessary for me physically to retain my energy reserves to do the actual shopping etc. S/O does go off on his own and at my request has stopped using our bike path that goes all over town, just to make me feel better. He doesn't bike at night since he doesn't have a light and horn on his bike and our bylaws about having both of those after dark are enforced and he doesn't want a ticket. Now for his bike rides he sticks to the main roads and heads down to our very busy waterfront area. Very public and keeps me unconcerned about him. Now having said all that, if another person up and disappears I think some in our city are going to be rallying for answers from authority as to if its possible someone is at work with bad intent in our region. If that happens, I can see panic as nobody here is accustomed to that kind of risk. I won't personally panic, just be cautious (overly) and keep us all in very public spaces and together etc. I hope for the families sakes that these cases get some resolution very soon. I can't imagine as each new person goes missing what must go through their loved ones minds. I can't imagine they wouldn't be all asking the same questions in their mind as I and others in the community are asking. [/QUOTE]
