Very Important



Heard anything about this?
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.
