Advisory for all from ALLSTATE
Hey guy's, i got this as an email that from a friend that works for the Dep't of Safety...
This comes from Allstate Insurance Company: 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)
