Thanks for the heads up! I'll try to verify it on snopes, but either way, it's sound reasoning and makes sense-thanks for the warning, Sable! The criminals keep getting slicker.

Hi Crushers ~

First the government.

Then the online banking places.

Then certain software sites.

Then Wall Street.

Now parking lot criminals.

WHO ELSE WANTS A PIECE OF US ???!!!

Good thing Crushers are fighters and not quitters!

Thanks so much for the post. I just sent it to my daughter, and I know she will forwarded it to her friends. It's a scary world out there and the best we can hope to do is keep informed. Knowledge is power.

Well Royal your right.. but mainly as you said

First the Government....
The banks and software sites have to comply so I don't really blame them Razz

And criminals... well they have to get smarter to stay in business as we are all getting smarter LOL

GOOD ADVICE SABLE!! Anything that makes you get out of a vehicle and leave everything on your seat and car running is risky anymore.
