Some Kind of Voo Doo
Del Ray Beach, FL
A woman called police from the 1500 block of South Federal Highway to report that while she was in a grocery store she was approached by two men. The men asked her for directions, then she gave them the directions and they left. When she was outside loading her vehicle with groceries, the same men approached her again.
One of the men sat in her car and demanded she give them a ride. When the victim refused, she went inside a nearby bank to cash a check. When she came back outside, the men were waiting for her.
The men took a blue bandana and rubbed it on her face and shoulders. The victim told police it must have been some kind of voodoo, because she got into the car and took a ride with them. They used no force. They asked her to go inside the bank and withdraw $2,000. The victim did and when she came back outside she gave it to the men. When she “came to her senses and was released from the spell,” she called police.

Ahh… The power of suggestion…. Seriously, though. She’s got people hassling her and making unreasonable demands, and she goes into the bank and cashes a check?! Why didn’t she ask the bank personnel to call the law (or ask one of the armed guards to walk her back to her car)? Did she think these guys were just going to go away? I guess some people are just born to be victims.

I think she made up the “voodoo” thing to cover her own stupidity! Actually, I think it’s amazing that this lady had $2k in her account what with the cost of psycho-therapy and all!

I told you, Mike. We were supposed to use a blue PILL. That way she would never wake up and know what had happened to her.

Why would I give her Viagra? Or maybe I was supposed to take it and scrump her to death?

Sounds like she may have lost some money gambling or shopped too much and was trying to cover it all up.

Very astute mhol. That scenario sounds very likely. I wonder if the person she was covering it up from actually fell for it. On the other hand, she could have been in hypno-therapy and was carrying out the old blue-bandana-money-from-the-bank post-hypnotic suggestion.

Not THAT blue pill, Mike.

Of course, this happened in Florida, where the practice of Santeria (a Christian/Voodoo hybrid) is widespread. No doubt the blue bandana gang probably had some emergency back up voodoo, like a dead chicken wrapped in a linen cloth and tied with sage stems. Works for me…

Knowing how some people are, it could have been any of the above …..

I think she meant to call her psychic to tell her about the dream she had and called dispatch by mistake… it could happen!

I want one of those blue bandanas too!

did someone say …..blue bandana?

Your thinking Blue Banana, nan. Another post, another time. You left your lighter on the kitchen counter, go have another bong hit, Mike and I will bring your “long pork” in a few……….
