Team, Recently sent to me:
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."
Please talk to your loved ones about this. This is a new tactic used and I would hate for anyone to fall victim to this kind of crime.
Please be safe

thanks.
but all in all, it is something to consider I would not stop to check a car seat but I would call the police and If you mix water with eggs it does turn into a while milky mess. that could impair your driving abilities.
And The times are harder that they have been for a long time and criminals could resort to these tactics.
And this is not some thing I would have thought of if either situation had happened to me.
So hoax or not it has made me consider the possibilities.

There are no substantiated efforts by gangs across the U.S. to simultaneously target victims. That's not to say that you shouldn't be vigilante while you are out and about, but there's no reason to spread false warnings. Yes, people are desparate in hard times but I don't think we need to be afraid to go out, as this warning (which I also received in an email, today and was checking snopes because of that and then saw it posted here) suggests. But everyone needs to do what they feel is necessary to stay safe!
