Exclamation OPP Warning for motorists..

OPP Warning! (Canada) - URGENT
Important Police Warning:

Please read and forward to anyone you know who drives.

My name is Captain Abraham Sands of the Ontario Provincial Police Department. I have been asked by local authorities to write this email in order to get the word out to car drivers of a very dangerous prank that is occurring in numerous cities. Some person or persons have been affixing hypodermic needles to the underside of gas pump handles. These needles appear to be infected with HIV positive blood. In the Simcoe area alone there have been 17 cases of people being stuck by these needles over the past five months.

We have verified reports of at least 12 others in various provinces around the country. It is believed that these may be copycat incidents due to someone reading about the crimes or seeing them reported on the television.

At this point no one has been arrested and catching the perpetrator(s) has become our top priority. Shockingly, of the 17 people who where stuck, eight have tested HIV positive and because of the nature of the disease, the others could test positive in a couple years. Evidently the consumers go to fill their car with gas, and when picking up the pump handle get stuck with the infected needle.

IT IS IMPERATIVE TO CAREFULLY CHECK THE HANDLE OF THE GAS PUMP before you grab check very carefully

EACH TIME YOU USE ONE. LOOK AT EVERY SURFACE YOUR HAND MAY
TOUCH, INCLUDING UNDER THE HANDLE.

If you do find a needle affixed to one, immediately contact your local police department so they can collect the evidence. Please pass this message on to all the people you know.

Nuh-uh. My uncle Ned once got a needle in his hand when he tried to grab the nozzle to spray gas at an emperor penguin that was swooping down to grab his coon-skin hat!
