I had this sent to me from a contact within the mains roads department today. Its worth the read and pass it 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 -- 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 000 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON'T 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.

Good to know.

It's a bit sad when the world is in such a state that we can't stop to help another person because we are scared of being bashed/robbed/raped. Let alone someone actually abuses those emotions to harm us.

I hope they get AIDS & gangrene on the penis.

Good find !

I like the data on the eggs

All the hallmarks of a made up story, too much detail. Just like other famous works of fiction such as the bible.

now if i see that on the road i know what not to do

Faker than the moon landing.

- there are lots of archealogical facts that support the bible.
- many scholars (who are not religious) after examining the bible agree that it cannot be proven ficticious...
- and the list goes on..

pls advise what your basis is to make the above statement?

Pretty sure the thread was not made as a fact finding mission about the legitimacy of the bible.
You have your beliefs, he has his.
Pwrx is a car forum not a religion debate.
