 Just got forwarded this from a buddy who's a Det. in SLPD - apparently this is spreading quickly.

NEW CARJACKING METHOD

Reported by Florida Highway Patrol
 
Victim starts the engine and shifts into Reverse,  looks into the rearview mirror to back out of the parking space, and notices a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.  This is often placed while the victim is entering the vehicle.

 

Victim typically shifts into Park, unlocks doors, and exits car to remove paper (or other obstruction) from rear window, leaving vehicle running.

When victim reaches the back of the car, the carjackers enter vehicle from concealment and flee scene.  

Females are targeted more often, as they tend to leave a purse containing cash, credit cards, ID and home address in the vehicle when they exit.

Suggested action: If you see an obstruction in the back window, leave the scene immediately and remove the obstruction later.  DO NOT attempt to confront or block the carjackers if they gain entry to the vehicle.

anything you want
 ok, here's a weird one...

A buddy of mine came into "possesion"  of the following:

original copy of the exorcist script- bound with red cover- some wear on edges- along with a typed sheet listing sound effects and scene - page was clearly taped to something as it has residue - along with 7 1/2" reel of tape labelled Exorcist sound effects

He's looking to find a market for this - it would seem to be a fairly valuable piece of film memorabilia, if the right buyers were located.
It seems to be a foley artist copy based on the cue sheet and tape.

O, mighty F-list, what do you think would be the best method of valuating and/or finding a market for this item?

answer the question

from 

[info]jrittenhouse :


The Challenge:

* Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done.
* See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to add another!(2.b., 2.c., etc...)
* Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life.


1. Hauled a ripe, dead, bloated body out of lake Michigan
(safety tip - do NOT poke a hole in the body)

2. Been held at gunpoint by 6 police officers who mistakenly believed me to be an armed bank robber.
(Well, I WAS armed, and taking money out of the inside of an ATM at 1AM)

3. ripped the entire fleshy part of my lower jaw off the bone in a bike accident
(that ditch was wider than it looked, and the bike was not a BMX model - 30+ stitches)

life is my bitch
Both classes came back with A's  

5 weeks of business law this summer

We are past apogee and into descent........

But every class is now "the one that can kill the GPA".   

However, I do get to apply for my scholarship - if i can find my damn tax forms from last year.

 note to self - next time I wire an accessory such as an amplifier to my bike, I should take the time to wire it to an ignition hot wire.
this way when my stupid ass leaves the amp on by mistake, i don't have a dead battery the next time I go to ride.
