Susan was a mother of 2 who worked in a convenience store to make ends meet. She did not mind the work, except when she had to go to the restroom at night. She had to use the same restroom as the customers, which was detached from the main store. Most of the time the night manger was there, so she was not alone. She had to walk outside to get to the restroom. It was not always well lit, but she had never had a problem.

One night she was about to take a bathroom break. She walked toward the bathroom and went in with no problem. When she was on her way out, she heard what sounded like a baby crying. She thought a baby out here by itself; oh no it must be an abandoned child. Without hesitation, she went to investigate. Out of nowhere 2 guys grabbed her and one placed a knife to her throat and demanded money.

She did not have much but she complied. The other one took her keys. The store manager noticed she had been gone longer than normal and was starting to worry. He was getting suspicious, so he called the police to investigate. There was a unit in the area so they quickly arrived.

When the punks saw the police unit, they pushed Susan down and ran into to the wooded area near the store. They were apprehended a few blocks down the road and charged with attempted robbery. Turns out they had pull that abandoned baby routine at several other stores.
