Merry Christmas America……

Merry Christmas America…….

Forget the lectures, forget the sad stories, and forget the tragedies we watch on the news on a nightly basis. Forget about the darker side of life, the same repeated headlines in the newspapers. The same pain. The same crimes, time after time.
Hey forget about all that for a couple days, it’s Christmas time.

It’s a time for family, for sharing, for giving. It’s a time for the children. It’s the time for Christmas lights, powdery white snow in the trees, Santa Claus and his helpers, Family parties, office Christmas parties, last minute shopping. Nothing goes wrong in life this time of year…Be happy!

Is it really a Cop pulling you over?

Nobody likes being pulled over by an officer for a traffic violation. If you’re lucky, it’s only a warning. If you’re not lucky, it’s a ticket. And lately for a few unlucky drivers, it’s been a terrorizing experience. That’s because the car that pulled them over wasn’t a police car at all. It was carjackers trying to impersonate police cars by using a powerful spotlight to pull cars over.

The drivers did exactly what they were supposed to do, pull over for what they thought was a police officer. Unfortunately, it was not a police officer at all; it was armed carjackers who ordered the drivers out of their cars at gunpoint. The carjackers stole the cars leaving the drivers standing at the side of the road wondering what had just happened. Luckily the carjackers just took the drivers cars and didn’t kidnap or shoot them. Luckily the drivers used common sense (or NetCops tips) and just gave up their cars without resistance. The drivers lost their cars but they were not injured or hurt.
