Omaha Safety Alert

This happened this morning to my sister's co-worker so I am posting it help keep you and your family safe.  Be alert!

"Hi - I wanted to pass this on ASAP this morning.  My mother was at the post office at 84th and Center  on Wed.  She was in her car.  An older woman came up to the car door and was speaking Spanish and was motioning for her to roll down her window.  All of a sudden she grabbed the door handle and tried to open her car door.  At the same time - a man appeared at the passenger side door and tried to open that.  Karrie's doors were locked THANK GOD.  After the police were called and this was reported - the police told her that they are doing this all over the city.  While you are being distracted on one side of your car - there will be someone else trying to get in on the passenger side.  DRIVE WITH YOUR DOORS LOCKED AT ALL TIMES.


STAY ALERT AND LOOK AROUND.  THIS HAPPENED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AT A VERY PUBLIC PLACE - A POST OFFICE! According to the police - this is happening several times a day in West Omaha.  They also said these creeps  have tried leaving notes on cars.  When you stop to take the note off your windshield and read it - it gives them time to run up on you.

Sorry to send this.  I know it is scary - but I thought everybody should know.  HEADS UP. LET EVERYBODY KNOW ABOUT THIS."
