I have heard recently of people in parking lots offering to let people smell samples of perfume they are supposedly selling at discount prices.

The samples they are using are really ether which render people unconscious almost immediately.

Everyone, please be careful out there.

Another technique would-be assailants use is to approach a woman who just got into her car, tap on the window, wave some money and say, "You dropped this." When she rolls down the window to express her gratitude and take the bill, he makes his move.

My "Urban Legend" nerve is tingling.

But watch out for strangers in hotel bars, they'll drug you and steal your kidney!

That "perfume sample" story is, in fact, an urban legend. You can read about it at snopes.com. In fact, you can look up almost any rumor or story you here--the Druj Sjodin story included--and find out whether it's true or false at snopes.com.

I don't know why all the comments on what she said as her "last words." We weren't there, so how the hell should we know?

I'm not proud, but I have played around with ether back in college. It won't render you "unconscious almost immediately" unless somebody puts a bunch of it in a rag or something and holds it over your face for a while. Taking even a deep breath of ether might give you a little head rush but won't render the vast majority of people unconsious or even incapacitated.
