It did go through, I just had to unscreen it. Because of spam, I have to approve all anonymous comments, but I do see them eventually! That's terrifying about those guys near UTS. Even if they were offering a lift with the best of intentions, could they not see what it would look like to you? When we've been warned all our lives not to get into cars with strangers?

That said, I used to walk through Sydney a lot late at night because taxis were too expensive. (I would often walk home from Newtown or Central, for example.) And normally I felt very safe, just because there were so many people out on the streets.
