SPUNKBALL WARNING:

Please Keep all windows rolled up when stopped at traffic lights, as
only cars with windows down are being targeted.

Groups of teenagers have been caught, in alarming numbers, playing a
new and dangerous game called Spunkball. Spunkball consists of a group
of teens in a car pulling up to a stop light, and looking around for a
car stopped nearby with an open window.

When one is spotted, the teens shout, "Spunkball", and throw a gasoline
soaked rag that has been wrapped in aluminum foil through the open window.
On the outside of the foil is attatched a small fire cracker, with the
fuse lit. When the fire cracker explodes, it shreds the foil, and the rag
is ignited, causing a large flame that may catch the interior of the car
on fire.

Spunkball playing has already claimed two lives, caused uncountable
injuries due to burns, and caused thousands of dollars in damage to
automobiles. The best defense, say authorities, is to keep all windows
rolled up when stopped at traffic lights, as only cars with windows down
are being targeted.

If you are at a redlight and hear a shout of "Spunkball", and notice
something come flying in your window, the best thing to do is to have all
passengers immediately exit the vehicle. DO NOT try to retrieve the
object, as it will ignite once the fire cracker explodes.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU CARE ABOUT.
