I have a one word answer for these creeps. Glock.

:)
 
I knew somehow that one was an "urban legend" as soon as I saw it. They have a certain rythmn to the email.

Plus, I've never defended someone who pulled this particular stunt.

What kind of particular stunts DO you defend?

And will you be my lawyer? ;)
 
That is a good idea though...I mean if you were into that kinda thing.

I wonder if it would work for a plane.... :rolleyes:

Few planes have rear view mirrors. Even fewer can back out of a parking space. Hopefully the pilots of planes with rear view mirrors that can back out of parking wouldn't be so stupid as to leave the engine running when they climbed out to check the post-it note on the rear window.:D
 
This reminds me of the other urban legend about the person who waits for people under their cars, and waits until the door is unlocked and slashes their achilles (sp?) tendon, leaving them disabled, while they blissfully grab the keys and drive off.

Usually happens in malls. Be afraid!

Actually, I prefer an HK or CZ, but many people wouldn't know what that is.

Might work if you put my car on jack stands... But I'd be slightly suspicious as I walked up.

I'm an old man in the Public Defender's Office. I start with small pot possessions and end with death penalty homicide. You name it, I have seen it, with very few possible exceptions. I get to see the newest styles before you all, I get to hear the latest, uh, "street expressions" before you all, I am in the know about what drug is hot this week.

If some of the board members would exercise S&W a bit, I might have more time to fly;)

It's funny, though. These hoaxes all sound the same to me. There is really a certain cadence to the emails.

The guy'd be in a world of hurt (literally) if he missed and the driver fired up and blasted away before the perp could extract himself.
