This thread is for de females especially...even in de mix of all de excitement to go and party...PLEASE be aware of yuh surroundings...not only when going Zen..but everywhere for that matter..
I just wanted to share a nightmarish experience that happened to my
bestfriend and I, in Zen's carpark the day T&T played Peru (10th May)
Please pass this to all your female friends who go to Zen or any nightclub
for that matter. I don't want to invoke fear by sending this email, but I
don't want this to happen to anyone else either. Be careful!!
On Wednesday night, Zen had a big football party so my friend and I decided to go.
We got there at about 11:20pm and pulled into the Carpark. This is the
Carpark on Keith Street which gives way to the public tennis court. This
carpark is not very well-lit but we thought nothing of it as we know that
Zen has 'Security' who used to do patrols and there were lots of ppl there
that night. Anyway, we pulled into a parking spot and we sat in the car
putting on lipstick and our shoes. We noticed a car parked next to ours
with a guy leaning on the trunk and another guy in the car speaking on his
mobile but, unfortunately for us, we didn't make anything of it.
As we opened the door to get out, 1 guy jumped in on the driver's side,
another on the passenger side and one in the backseat. They not only
wanted to steal the car but they wanted to ensure that we could not
escape. We started to scream and fight back and scream some more, but I
tell ya... they have mastered a technique where they shove their palm up
under your nostrils whilst pressing against your mouth and simultaneously
jamming the other hand against yr throat.. yes it's as effective and scary
as it sounds... not a breath of air!!! They're saying to each other ' doh
let them get out... try to get them in the backseat' while trying to find
the car keys which, in retrospect lucky for us, fell onto the car floor
during the commotion.
Anyway, so we're still trying to scream and struggle which is difficult,
to say the least, whilst not breathing. They managed to pin my friend
between the driver's and passenger seat where the handbrake is located. I
get 2 feet out the door and the guy in the driver's seat grabs me by my
hair literally and drags me back in. I have 1 word to summarize that..
EXCRUCIATING!! As they are trying to stifle our screams, I was able to
free my hand and I started to honk the horn. When they tried to stop that,
I would scream again.
At this point you might be asking where was the Security?? Who knows?
Finally a guy in a Hilux van (our rescuer) who happened to pass thru the
back by the tennis court, heard the honking and noticed the commotion. He
stopped his vehicle and was trying to assess the situation. All the while
our assaulters were trying push us to the ground and appear normal. I
started to bang on the windscreen at this point and the guy realized sthg
was definitely wrong. He also started to honk his horn at which time the
Security finally realized sthg was wrong. They came running towards us and
the assailants jumped out of the car and started to run towards the
Savannah, not to be found.
So boys and girls, the moral of this story is to please please please be
careful. I can't help but think of my numerous female friends who take the
occasional lime here and there; which is what I still plan to do. But I
still can't stop myself from occasionally thinking about the "what-ifs".
So again, look at your surroundings; if you go to Zen, drive up to the
security before parking and have them park with you; note that when the
driver opens his/her door all the other door locks automatically open
(this is how they got into the back seat), finally go with God and be
safe!
