I've seen very similar tactics in the outback of Australia, mainly Western Australia. When i was over visiting my Aunty and driving between Perth and Port Headland there were similar tactics used by Aboriginals (indigenous Australians). In this case many people had been driving at night or through the day and either hit something or saw a body laying on the road. They would stop to get out and see if everything was ok only to be ambushed and in some cases killed not only for their belongings but because many indigenous Australian's have a strong hatred for settlers or immigrants.
Even the police would say to not stop and continue on to the next town / police station and advise them of what had happened.

Now here is a post and thread I can feel good about star and flagging. Well done. It's sad that the world has degenerated into a cesspool of crime, and it's even sadder still that the evil prey on the kind.

This hoax has been doing the rounds all over the world. Please folks, a simple google search will have told you this. google = baby seat gang = hoax

Don't believe everything you read. I also can't believe I'm the first to report this here on ATS that it's a hoax. C'mon guys....
Just goes to show that 37 people will blindly flag something if it scares them huh, I suppose that is the point of fear-mongering.edit on 15-4-2011 by coder22 because: (no reason given)

Advice cannot be hoaxed. Advice is just that. It is advice.

Very first thing I did was check snopes. I do this with all e-mails of this nature. I expect this from my elderly grandmother, who thinks the internet is limited to e-mail and urls shown on fox news, but on a web site whose motto is Deny Ignorance?

Really?~! You did check Snoops?? Cuz' I did and you know what, I didn't find the EXACT match, wanna know why, cuz it's advice..
2nd thing is .. did you happen to read the post the other day that a woman got raped in a 'deserted' part of Denver Airport while others looked on till 2 employees intervened?????
You still think THAT is a hoax ??
I have no clue what you are talking about, but 1st of all, if you are going to accuse me of something, at least try to have the decency to reply directly to me so that I can become aware of your false accusations. I don't agree with you, so how could I have stolen the credit? It's impossible.

It's funny! I posted on the first page that it was a HOAX. (Thanks BrokenCircles for stealing the cred - spyder550 spotted it first.)
Now here is my take on it- I didn't say thank you. I also did not flag it, but that's really none of your business anyways. I never used the word 'Wise.' I simply said it was advice. I have no idea what makes you think that this possible scenario has anything at all to do with TSA.

But its totally beyond me how everyone is flagging it.
Here's my take on it - The same people thanking the poster for so called "Wise advice" are probably the same people who thought it was possible that the 6year old girl that was searched by the TSA recently WAS a possible terrorist!!!
Lets get serious.
