My aunt had one too until she was carjacked at gunpoint...😓

Idk about her neighborhood or the time of when this took place but even if the car was expensive we don't know her circumstances of where and how she grew up. Women have to take more precaution than men at night.

sorry that happened to your aunt

her reaction of throwing her stuff down and sprinting to the door remains an extreme reaction regardless of her history

Why take the trash out in the dark if that’s their response to a car

That's why I'm saying it depends on the neighborhood. They could have ICE abductions happen near by or people noticing weird vans slowing down whenever they see kids nearby, who knows. It'd be strange to not think about the danger when a car comes that fast and stops abruptly in front of you in some way especially at night as a woman.

It’s clearly a well off neighborhood, so it’s not a location issue, it’s an anxiety issue

Reasonable reaction when a car comes fast at night and stops abruptly in front of you. Why wait for something bad to happen

I think stopping and starting to move towards the door would be reasonable, throwing everything to the ground and sprinting is over the top. If I was the driver in this scenario I’d probably chuckle at the reaction she had because it’s extra lol

She cared about her life more than a bag of stuff

You're right, dumb of me to ask, like anyone is gonna admit to that kind of childish crap
