Kidnapped 89-Year-Old to Captors: 'You Got to Be Kind to Other People' - Yahoo!
An 89-year-old woman who spent two days locked in her car trunk thinking she'd never be found has a message for her teen captors.
"You got to be kind to other people if you want somebody to be kind to you," Margaret Smith said.
The 4-foot-11 octangenerian's story began with an act of kindness on March 18.
Smith had stopped at the Chicken Man Convenience Store in Milford, Del., for a Butter Pecan ice cream cone when two teenage girls approached her and asked for a ride across town.
"I decided not to, then I said, 'Well, a good deed,'" Smith said.
After driving around for a while, Smith said the girls snatched her car keys and stuffed her in the trunk of her Buick.
