I was sent this by a friend and thought I should pass it on.

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.
 
I wouldn't stop even if something was in the middle of the road drive round it and carry on for the exact reason

Getting to think despite all the issues associated with the US Bill of Rights over the Right to Bear Arms has more merit every day that passes
 
Sorry if this particular feature is fake, but things like this happen, a next door neighbour of ours, (a couple of fields away mind) pulled down her driveway, and as she was getting out of her car a chap walked down the drive smiling, supposedly asking for directions, as soon as he got to the car he punched her, took the car keys and drove off, followed by a second car (presumably the accomplice), so she now has electric gates, same as us!

It is a sad situation that because car security has become so good, thieves will now use more basic techniques to steal cars.

Totally disagree. Not sure if it made the news in the UK as I'm currently on holiday state-side. But just last week some nutter lost his head and killed 12 innocents watching the new Batman movie. I just cant believe such a great country can live with the consistent massacres which are carried out. Surely when pupils have to pass through metal detectors just to attend school, something is badly wrong. Of course the Pro-gun lobbies will say guns aren't dangerous - its the people holding them who are. But that's pure crap. It's a bit like saying nuclear weapons aren't dangerous - just the guy with his finger on the button (ok - bit of a stretch). We had a number of atrocities a while back (Hungerford & Dunblaine) and took drastic action. It doesn't stop the problem but it sure as hell makes it less likely.

IMO we do need to do something to clamp down on crimes like mentioned by the OP but to me that is by tougher sentences including but not limited to repaying the their debt to the victim (as far as possible) and the wider community.
