A Tampa woman has described a very scary incident that happened while she was shopping at the Tampa International Mall. She talks about going into one store and noticed these two guys walking by her but didn't think to much about it because it was kind of busy. She went on to a different store and noticed the guys were in there as well and brushed it off as coincidence. After shopping for a while she ended up in Louis Vuitton and noticed the same two guys were now in there as well and even told the sales person. She felt uncomfortable so she left and the guys followed her closely to her car and tried to even run her off the road when she was driving home! This story is crazy but it's important to pay attention to your surroundings.
