‘Sliders’ Snatching Valuables From Cars Across US (Video)
ABCNews ^ | 8/7/2013 | Linsey Davis

Posted on 08/07/2013 10:20:11 AM PDT by South40

In a new wave of crime that occurs in an instant, thieves are cagily sliding into victim's cars and snatching valuables from open windows, in what police are calling "sliding."

From Corbin, Ky., to Tampa, slippery sliders are being caught on camera all across the country. Sometimes the perpetrator is caught red-handed, but most of the time the victim has no idea until it's too late.

Often operating at gas stations while customers are casually pumping fuel, thieves lying in wait pounce, snatching purses and other valuables, then running off.

You need to go to a garage sale a buy a box of old purses.

They are really cheap. Fill them with dog $hit and leave them on the hood of a car.

The real Obama lesson here is ALWAYS lock your car doors and windows, yes EVEN if it is a black person you see approaching. And even if they don’t like it. Screw them.

I think Obama’s don’t lock your car doors demand should be enacted as a civil rights law entitled: Future Ted Bundys Equal Opportunity Act.

On video, all perps are black.

Obviously they edited out all the white perps because we live in such a racist society. (Cough.)

There is something fulfilling about seeing a carload of yutes cruising the parking lot when they spy the purse on the trunk. They let one guy out and he saunters over, grabs the purse and leaps into the car. They usually get a few feet from the exit when all the doors fly open and guys run in all directions.

“Fill them with dog $hit “

Why just doggie do? I don’t have a dog. Can I just fill the purse myself? Saves on water too.

Reminds me of the old story we were told about someone catching a bobcat and putting it in an old suitcase. The old suitcase was left on the side of the road near where the pulpwood holderites would drive by and happily take it and shortly all 4 of the pulpwood truck occupants would be screaming and running out of the cab.

A bag full of snakes, a bag full of fire ants, a bag with skunk scent rigged to burst all over.

But with my luck a good Samaritan would pick it up and my karma would take another hit!

..years ago we “gathered” dog s*** and gift wrapped boxes full of it to put in the back seats of cars and then watch as the mall “snots” lifted the holiday gifts from cars at the mall. You didn’t have to wait long

Ann Landers once had a post where a woman wrote that she had a whiskey bottle stolen from her car while she was shopping, but was more overcome by hysterics than anger. It seems she had to visit the doctor, who needed a urine sample. She didn't have a container, so she took an empty whiskey bottle from the trash . . .

People wrote in saying it was some college kids playing a joke, but Ann said it was true. How she knew, I don't know.

I was just headed out to my backyard to pick up dog poo, that is an excellent idea of a new way to dispose of it!
