Freedom through graffiti
A woman who was kidnapped by a trucker who drove her across the country, beating her and keeping her locked up for over a year is free. She used a marker that she hid in her sock to scrawl pleas for help on over 100 toilet walls at gas-stations -- her kidnapper stood guard over the door -- and finally, someone called 911. Cops used GPS to track down the truck and arrested the driver. The driver's employer characterizes the crime as a lovers' spat. Link DiscussShare this post
