Worth Passing On!
This is happening now!
Sad, especially if you are inclined to 'help' people...
While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head. But when I got to my destination, I called the Police and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check....
"There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women)to stop their vehicle and get out of the car.
"There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.
"Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person -- robbed and maybe left for dead, too.
DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!!
DIAL 15
AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.
"IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSCREEN, DO NOT STOP TO CHECK THE CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS.
THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES.
THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE UNSAVOURY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."

It can happen in any country. The point is "in order to protect yourself (and other family memeber travelling with you) in these kind of situation (traps) remember to NOT stop, especially in deserted areas. You can always contact and report to the local police or authorities when you reach a safer place."
The story may be fake, duplicated or a bit doctored (see 92.5%...), but the Threat is real. It does not hurt to be more careful for the sake of your safety. Does it? |

it's just a HOAX message replied on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 03:57 PM
Brief Analysis
The supposed warning has no basis in fact and should not be forwarded. It is not an official police warning as suggested in the message. This supposed police warning is nothing more than a UK variant of a hoax message that has previously circulated in the United States, Canada and elsewhere.

What ever an individual can contribute for the good of the society and welfare of the general public should be encouraged and appreciated. There is no doubt that there are people in every country and society who take every opportunity to make mokery of norms of society. It is appreciated that some one has pointed some of the tactics which the criminals are resorting to to lure them into the trap. Hats off to the contributor. Keep it up buddy. |
