Please be safe!!

#1
On the way to Canton , driving on Michigan Avenue , on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. 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 Canton PD and they were going to check it out. This is what I was told...
"Several things to be aware of .. gangs and thieves, are now plotting different ways to get a person to "stop" their vehicle.
"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 9-1-1 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW.

"IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSHIELD. 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% YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THIEVES. THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS. PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE UNSAVORY INDIVIDUALS WILL TAKE DESPERATE MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."


WARNING  # 3  
Some  knew about the red light on cars, but not the 112.
 
It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren  was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED  police car pulled up behind herand put his  lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her  never to pull over for an unmarked car on the  side of the road,but rather to wait  until they get to a gas station,  etc.
 
Lauren  had actually listened to her parents advice, and  promptly called
112 on her  cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that  she would not pull over right away. She  proceeded to tell the  dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car  with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind  her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were  police cars where she was and  there  weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain  calm and that he had back up already on the way.

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded  her and the unmarked car behind her.. One  policeman went to her side and the others  surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy  from the car and tackled him to the ground. The  man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other  crimes.
 
I  never knew about the 112 Cell  Phone feature,  but especially for a woman alone in a car, you  should not pull over for an unmarked car.  Apparently police have to respect your right to  keep going to a safe place.
 

*Speaking  to a service representative at Bell Mobility  confirmed  that  112 was  a direct link to State trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about 112.

You  may want to  send  this to  every woman (and man) you know; it may save a  life.  This  applies to ALL 50 states
PLEASE  PASS ALONG TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT CAN SAVE A  LIFE....


Please be safe !!!
