Its a hoax that has been circulating for years

Are you sure?
Remember, these sorts of things are happening in Thailand all the time, along with causing a minor crash and them mugging you when you stop.
I'm going to play safe and keep going (unless she's REALLY good looking and has a white stick so she can't see what I look like).
When I get back to work I'll check it out and see if there's been any reports (Should have done that first but I wanted to pass it on ASAP before anyone got caught out) and let you all know the latest.

Sorry Brock but the story regarding the young fella loosing his brand new ute was actually on TV here in QLD it happened on the Gold Coast

Dont know about the ute, but a search on google/snopes shows most of them. The contact details given are usually true, but the events not. There are the sam warnings in spain, uk US and so on and I have been seeing them for years.
There is nothing of course preventing a villain reading these and giving it a try.

Yep, and that then gets a special type of internet user (not you Poppy) to regurgitate an old warning with new evidence.
Sure, crime happens, and extreme care must be exercised, even by day. But when I see figures like "92.5%" my BS alarms go off!
Why and how could anyone make such a claim for the opacity of albumin/water mix? Simply to add credibility to their story by making it look scientific, that's why.
