Robbed at a Drive-Thru?

Good Grief!  Are we not safe anywhere...anymore? 

Who would think it could be true?  Thieves are watching and waiting to make some fast cash in fast food drive-thru lines.  This actually happened!  In Stockton.  A female was in the drive-thru line with her friends when two suspects came up, pointed a gun and robbed them. 

Life must be getting desperate for these robbery folks.  How many of us carry hundreds of dollars in our wallet - if we did, we would stop at Red Lobster, Outback, or ....well, not McDonald's.  Although, I admit, I'm a McD frequent visitor - love their hot-fudge sundae.  With tax, it amounts to a huge $1.29.  I can do that!  And besides, we use the debit card more than cash.  Yes!  I pull out the debit card for my $1.29 purchase.  I don't carry cash...there's no particular reason for this...I just don't go the bank to get cash. 

Has our society become so stupid...or desperate...that we have to rob at a McD's drive-thru?  Here's what happens.   They lie in wait - see you in the line - you are between two vehicles and can't run - they walk up to your window and want your hot fudge money.  In Stockton, they pointed a gun at the lady in order to get her Big Mac money.  These are called crimes of opportunity!  Let me say that again:  these are called crimes of opportunity!  By driving thru a fast food place we are giving idiots an opportunity to rob us....???  Oh, why do I find this the ultimate of stupity?  How sad.  Imagine a mom taking her children to get a Happy Meal - and some thug bangs on her car....wanting the Happy Meal Money. 

When I thought it couldn't get any crazier!! It did. 

ROBBERY TO GO: 

You have got to watch the video of a man jumping through the drive-thru window at a Burger King this year.   Here's the link: http://www.abc57.com/news/national-world/Man-attempts-to-rob-drive-thru-window-142858155.html

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla.--It's a robbery attempt, to go. Security camera were rolling, as a suspect jumped through the drive-thru window of a Florida Burger King.  The woman working the cash register, didn't run away. Instead, she grabbed the man and screamed for help.

There's help.  Here's what you do (according to the officers):

1.  Lock your doors, roll up your windows, don't have money or a purse out in plain view, and try to get to a safe location.
2.  And if they see something, make some noise, honk your horn, because normally when you do something like that, the suspect who was going to rob you will flee the area."

The next time you drive through McD's or Burger King or Chick-fil-A...be on guard.  Follow the above two points.  If you don't have a gun - be sure you are riding with your Karate black-belt daughter.  I'll have Suzette escort me the next time I get the hot-fudge crave.  The robber would be so, so sorry.   He/she would suffer from a reversal of fortune.

I love to read about bungled robberies.  Such as:
 ...the  Indiana man who, during the commission of an armed robbery in January 2008, shot himself in the groin with his own gun, effectively ending the crime
... a 27-year-old Englewood, CO  resident, passed a note to a bank teller on the back of one of his own checks.
...A man who went missing in 1985 turned up in the chimney of a gift shop in Natchez, Miss., during renovations 15 years later.

Sometimes, crime just doesn't pay. 

Seriously, the Word says that knowledge will increase in the last days - but I never though stupidy would increase, also. 

Crimes of convenience.  Be prepared.

What else can I say?
