Y’all, this is the time of year when the criminals come out. They prey on tourists in town for the Liberty Bowl. BE CAREFUL and BE VIGILANT:
- If random women try to get you in their car, saying, “Let’s go have some FUN!!!”, the correct answer is NO unless you want to meet their male accomplice who has a gun.
- Avoid narrow, poorly-traveled streets late at night. Gayoso between Front and Main is one such example.
- Also avoid alleys as shortcuts. Stay on well-traveled major roads.
- Do not leave ANYTHING of value in your car, no matter how small. To a crackhead, that $5 change in your car console looks a lot like a rock.
