Kyri Viehman came out of the Michael's Craft store after buying Christmas decorations in Fenton, Missouri, to find a $100 bill tucked under her windshield wiper blade. Unfortunately for her, the bill was a fake and part of a scam to lure potential victims out of their cars to rob them.
In the case of Viehman, it wasn't until after a few minutes of driving down the road that she did what most people would do: get out of the car and focus on not letting that $100 bill blow away.
A note on the fake bill said:
"Ha you thought this was real didn't you?"
After researching on the Internet, she found that this was a common tactic for criminals. They plant the fake bill on a car, wait in the car next to that car, and hope that someone gets out of the car when they return from shopping.
At that point the criminal will rob the unsuspecting and distracted shopper, sometimes with a child to further distract them, and the criminal is gone without having to lure a victim out of the car or worry about giving a victim time to prepare against a mugging.
Viehman had her son in the car.
She posted a picture and her story on her Facebook account to give people a heads-up this Christmas shopping season. Protecting yourself against theft takes many forms, of course, but Viehman is calling on shoppers to be careful about their surroundings and always think about safety, even in what they may consider a safe place.

Proverbs 12:16
“The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.”
Why must you immaturely and nastily insult me? You’re the one posting hoax garbage. You should be embarrassed, if you have that capability.
It’s a stupid hoax, snopes had this one years ago, but some fools with little cognitive capacity isnsit on posting this debunked garbage.
Proverbs 23:9
“Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the good sense of your words.”
I’m really starting to feel kind of sorry for you. You appear quite pathetic.
Proverbs 18:7
“A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.”
Gullible much?
Proverbs 20:3
“It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling.”
"Blonde Sticks Her Tongue Into A Light Socket - WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WILL SHOCK YOU!"
Correct. Every time I fill gas, the keys and cell phone goes in my pockets.
We can go back to the classics for insight too.
I was away on vacation that week. Bummed i missed it. Those were the good old days, most of my FR friends from back then have been banned and left. I’ve even had to acquire a new name. :(
al baby was just another lousy typing FReeper back then before he hit legendary lore status with that mess of a thread. He’s not the brightest tool in the shed, but at least he was never a dick about it.
