I'm not afraid of terrorism, are you?

I just googled Hitchhiker Robberies.  This was in the first 30 results.  Mostly guns.  A couple knives.  A kidnapping was in there.  Usually people get robbed at gun point or carjacked in the stories.  One guy got shot in the head.  This is just the people picking up hitchhikers. I have no idea what the statistical likelihood is. But it isn't nothing, and is discouraged by highway patrol, who suggest you call 911, and then they'll try and help them out after checking their id.
