Americans are smart people and we are always looking for new and better ways to do things. Unfortunately this also applies to the less honorable among us. It seems that thieves have come up with a new way to steal from us and the police refer to them as 'Sliders'.
Apparently while you are spending a day's wages filling your gas tank, a vehicle will pull up to the pump on the passenger side of your car. While you are watching the Sale Price go around like a slot machine, the guy from the car that just pulled up enters the passenger side of your car, takes the purse, cell phone, or laptop, then gets back in his car and drives off. Pretty ingenious.
So be careful out there. Try to be observant of what is going on around you. Don't leave valuables visible in your car when you're not sitting right next to them. Keep the passenger doors locked. (Be careful not to lock your keys in the car but if you do call Farmers Road Service). Remember that someone else is trying to make an easy living off your hard work.
