Sad, especially if you are inclined to 'help' people...
 

Got this email from a friend and wondered what you guys thought.

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 -- woman -- will be dragged into the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.

DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!!

DIAL 9-9-9
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."


Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic used. Please be safe.

Get started NOW -- SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES TO BE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM SO AS NOT TO BECOME A VICTIM.

I know this isnt a new tactic but this kind of thing makes me sick, now people who really need help are going to be left well alone for fear of it being a hoax/robbery. The people behind this need putting down IMO. Sorry for rant it upset me.

Egg thing has happened to me on the way home fro work at 3.30am on a dark road in woodland.

The car infront was well infront of me when I drove through the housing area and as soon as the road turned into Cannock Chase the car slowed and indicated, as I overtook as it was national limit the car turned its lights off, overtook me and lobbed things at the front of my car as the rear passenger leaned out of the window. THey drove infront of me indicating to the left for me to stop.

Like heck I was. This went on for miles, no point in turning round as I had nowhere to go and they were staying in front of me, lights off for a reason and I wasnt going to overtake them again LOL.

I was on the way home in my Police uniform, alone and not a car about. I dialled 999 and there was noone free to come to help me.

Turned out it was local gang member, word out they wanted to kill a cop..... made me feel great.

Ended up doing silly speeds through red lights to get to the local cop shop .... heart was somewhere in the last town I was in.

So it does happen ... OK mine had a different motive :(

Noone was questioned as the reg was to an unregistered car (pool car) and it was pitch black so I couldnt offer any descriptions, other than 4 up in a car, I use the M6 now LOL

Re: Sad, especially if you are inclined to 'help' people...

Re: Sad, especially if you are inclined to 'help' people...
