dubman 39 Report post Posted August 16, 2010 Received this email, from a colleague who experienced a situation like this. She just rang the cops, didnt stop. Passed along by Police Department & Courthouse Several things to be aware of this year...as gangs and robbers are now plotting different ways to get a person to "stop" their vehicle. Please send to your friends. Please note: There is a gang initiation reported by the local police department that 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 baby... Note that the location of this car seat will usually be beside a wooded or grassy (field) area ...and the person - woman - will be dragged into the woods- beaten and raped- usually left for dead. DO NOT STOP. DIAL 111 AND INFORM THEM..... IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD. DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5% SO YOU ARE FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF ROBBERS. THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY ROBBERS. PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES !!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dubman 39 Report post Posted August 16, 2010 Sorry if this was a hoax email thing, and i am quite trusting, but this is the experience she had, which made me believe the above post was not a hoax: "I would like to let you know how real this is.....this is true and this is what happened to me yesterday driving to Kawerau. On the Mamaku Hills coming into Rotorua on the RHS of the road, going down a hill, a man lying in the ditch on the side of the road, he had a red bandanna around his neck which to me indicated gang affiliation.......directly behind him was a heavily wooded area - there was no car or bike to indicate that he had got off/out of a vehicle and was "sleeping". When I phoned the Police ..... I didn't stop driving through......I advised the Police of the situation and that I believed he was a gang member by the type of clothing he was wearing........they advised that I shouldn't stop and that just phoning them was the right thing to do......."

Grant 4 Report post Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) Haha this is funny. We had these same emails floating around here (word for word, with the exception of 111 being 911) a few weeks ago. Amazing how this does the rounds around the world. I realised that it was a load of rubbish when I came across the word robbers. Who older than 8 uses that word, and I have never heard a police communication use the term. Robbery yes, robber no.

bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted August 16, 2010 Even if that email is a hoax you should still take that kind of thing pretty seriously. Last year I pulled into the BP on Jervois Road, Herne Bay in my old E36 and was car jacked by 3 guys, like huge dudes. I just pulled in to where the air thing was since I was only buying a bottle of water and a vodafone card and I went in the shop and when I came out was approached and me an my car surrounded. My favourite part was when no one at the petrol station helped me. cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I 'ate pikeys Yeah there was plenty of people wearing their packs on their front on the tube in Rome. But the stories get more and more far fetched every tour I can imagine. But Rome has to be the Gypo/Pikey capital of the world. They are bloody everywhere. We saw some of them trying to get hit by cars on the crossings. Just thought they were playing silly buggers. But apparently you can sue the drivers if your hit on a crossing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2957 Report post Posted August 19, 2010 Just off the Yahoo news site... PARIS (Reuters) - French police have arrested two teenage girls they say stole hundreds of euros from unsuspecting cash machine customers after distracting them by flashing their breasts. The 14-year old girls were taken to the Paris prosecutor's office to face charges while a 12 year-old accomplice was placed in a home, police said. The girls first struck last week when they approached a man withdrawing cash from an automated teller machine (ATM) in the sixth district of Paris. One of the girls tried to distract him by sticking a newspaper under his nose. When that failed, she opened her shirt and grabbed his crotch, while the other girl swiped 300 euros ($385). The girls struck again with the help of the 12-year old a few days later, using the same method to steal 500 euros from a woman. So take this as a warning gents, look out for young women flashing their norks around cash machines ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
