Neighbors,
I received the e-mail copied below yesterday morning. It claims to
be brother of the victim and asserts that the earlier report of a
44th and Larchwood, August 1, car jacking was in fact true. I
responded to the strange e-mail immediately but have gotten no reply.
The yahoo account e-mail included a signature this time but I did
not include this until after I go to police headquarters with it.
It’s a little freaky that there is some unidentified sneaky member
of this list or the censored, private, University of Pennsylvania
listserv with lots of information and connections to this alleged
serious incident, but who will not come forward to confirm it. I’m
just getting these private communications from unidentifiable
strangers as if my private knowledge of their crime story is the
issue.
I can’t understand why anyone needs to convince me while the police
have the only incident recorded at that very location as removal of
an abandoned car!!!!! The entire community also needs to know the
truth not just me!
The sender of this e-mail seems unaware that his sister should
have an incident number. Not only are these "extraordinarily polite
and helpful" armed car jackers not being pursued if the police
bungled at this level but the victim won’t get insurance money for
her SUV!.
For the benefit of the list to verify no stolen vehicle with the
police: http://pdreports.phila.gov/arpublic/ARComFindDC.asp
What if the polite criminals use her car in another violent
incident and the police get the correct plate number? If this isn’t
straightened out and is true, the sister of this writer could find
herself the target of the police who don’t consider her a victim!!!!!!
All of this stuff is too much and scary. I’ll have to go to police
headquarters tomorrow morning as this gets deeper. I don’t have the
time for this but this is getting too scary. I'll be sure to give
a report to the list.
If this sneaky list member with information about this affair (who
allegedly forwarded my post to this writer) could come forward, the
community might be able to get the truth! One way or the other,
this is a serious matter for all of us!
This is either about serious unsolved crime right here and
unacceptable police incompetence or a serious coordinated internet
campaign to lie and spread fear that is centered right here. What
is the truth? Here is the e-mail:
""Dear Glenn,
I recieved this forward from a friend who belongs to some
information list (I'm not really sure):
"David,
I went to the 18th distrrict. Apparently, the report of a car
jacking was false. I will again confirm and report back to the
uncensored list.
I will not again forward information for you to share with the
civil censored Penn list. For your own sake, I suggest that you
get away from them. Please inform them that from current reports,
the earlier report of armed black men committing car jackings is
false.
If some young black kid runs in fear from the police because
frightened neighbors respond with increased fear, I would feel
terrible if I didn't make the best effort to inform even barking
cheese.
I'm planning to give a copy of your forward to the police. It
identifies both lists as well as Mr. West. I will be certain that
they understand that you were simply forwarding this to an
uncensored list of some 300+ people in good faith. You are
unfortunately a witness to all of this.
Thanks for sharing this with your neighbors.
Glenn Moyer"
I wish you were correct. I am the brother of the woman and the
Uncle of her son who were both held up with the use of a gun by two
young black males. My sister was getting out of her SUV after
picking up my nephew from my house around 10:20. I recieved a call
around 11:15 from my sister from the 18th district police station
at 55th and Pine. I spent over two hours with my her, her son, and
my brother-in-law, waiting for the detectives outside there office
while they took about an hour to see them, and another hour to ask
about ten questions. In addition to this, the car that the two
young black males had parked in order to rob my sister was supposed
to be towed by the officers of the the 18th district. They towed my
sister's neighbor's car instead and in fact practically ripped off
the front axel. This mistake was due to the incompetence of some
officer who had written th wrong plate number, supposedly. The men
who robbed my sister in fact were polite enough to help her unload
small desk and even allowed her to keep her purse. The gun that
they had was never drawn on them, but was simply flashed from one
of the men's belt. When she told the police this they did not even
consider to collect finger prints on the desk. After my sister
made some phone calls to a friend who works on the CSI unit, two of
his men came over to collect the desk in order to properly check
for prints. I'm unsure of to whom you may have spoken, but they
have grossly misinformed you.
Sincerely, ""
There you have it! What do folks think about all of this?
