Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
A man whose van was carjacked from East Liberty Wednesday was found Saturday bound and gagged in the rear of the van in Harmarville.
A passer-by heard noise from the back of the van that was parked at the Giant Eagle.
The victim could not be identified yesterday. Pittsburgh police did not return phone calls seeking comment.
I have a few more details than the above on this story. The man was kidnapped at gunpoint by 3 perps. A passerby in the supermarket parking lot heard sounds coming from the inside of the van & called police.
The man was found severely dehydrated due to the intense heat inside the closed up vehicle. The outside temp was 98 degrees & much hotter inside a vehicle parked in the sun. He was rushed to the hospital.
There is NOT a whole lot of sympathy in Pittsburgh for Car Jackers.
Don't allow yourself to get into this type of situation.
These BGs usually DO NOT care AT ALL about innocent life. They did not care at all if this guy suffered a slow agonizing death.
You do not want your body to turn into a Human Raisin...slowly baked and sundried inside a sweltering trunk or locked airtight vehicle while you fight for air.
That is NOT a good way to exit Planet Earth.
TAKE THE RISK ~ FIGHT HARD!...Anything is better than a slow & painful death.
