Both of these occurrences are very close to a large, private girls school.

Stay safe girls!

ETA: don't know if the girls are from THAT school or not but the timing was the beginning/end of the school day.

Thought of "that" school right away, if not for the creepy sexual comment made to one of the girls,might have wondered if it was one of the same perps who recently abducted the presumed affluent young Asian male for abduction.
imo, speculation.

Dear Dotr,

This is very alarming to read, especially the fact that this happened in daylight.

That this attempted abduction occurred during the day (3:30 p.m.) and also that "the man waited outside the house in his car" shows how brazen this individual is.

Hoping that the police are able to identify this individual soon!

Dotr, you could still be right. Strange isn't it, all these abductions happening in a short period of time.

If money is the motive, they're at the right location.
