PEOPLE ARE SO FREAKIN STUPID!
AUTO WINDOWS
Please keep all windows rolled up when stopped at traffic lights, as
only cars with windows down are being targeted. Groups of teenagers have
been caught, in alarming numbers, playing a new and dangerous game called
SPUNKBALL.
Spunkball consists of a group of teens in a car pulling up to a
stoplight. and
looking around for a car stopped near by with an open window. When one is
spotted, the teens shout, "SPUNKBALL", and throw a gasoline soaked rag
that has been wrapped in aluminum foil through the open window. On the
outside of the foil attached a small firecracker, with the fuse lit. When
the
firecracker explodes, it shreds the foil, and the rag is ignited. causing
a large
flame that may catch the interior of the car on fire.
Spunkball playing has already claimed two lives, caused uncountable
injuries due to burns, and caused thousands of dollars in damage to
automobiles. The best defense, say authorities, is to keep all windows
rolled up when stopped at traffic lights, as only cars with windows
down are being targeted.
If you are at a red light and hear a shout of "SPUNKBALL", and notice
something come flying in your window, the best thing to do is to have
all passengers immediately exit the vehicle. DO NOT try to retrieve the
object, as it will ignite once the firecracker explodes.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU CARE ABOUT and KEEP YOUR CAR
WINDOWS SHUT (especially at a stop sign or traffic lights).
