Default be careful in south fl

on 95. tonight i saw one of my coworkers on the side of the road. i stopped 2 tires of his trailer were torn up bad. i couldnt understand him because his english isnt that good but he showed me a rubber mat type thing with about 20 6" bolts sticking out. didnt put 2 and 2 together. get back to the post office (i run mail) and it was a set up. there was a rope on the other end of the mat. anyway. after i left my co worker felt the trailer shake with a car behind him. he got out of the truck, walked back and 2 people fled in a car. his lock and seal had been cut.

just giving the people a heads up. this happend on the southbound side of i95 around mm 114

I used to have a flare gun that looks exactly like a magic marker. I got it at a boat supply store called west marine supplies. you point it, un-screw the cap and pull a small chain. You would never know what it is until you un-screw the cap.

It is legal to carry anywhere except for a military base or if you are hauling haz-mat.

And trust me, if you have ever shot a flare gun then you will know that it's just as good as a pistol.... your basically throwing napalm at them LOL
