Windows.


Please keep all windows rolled up when stopped at traffic lights, as only cars with windows down are being targeted. Groups of teenagers have been caught, in alarming numbers, in NY, Calif., Boston, Fl. and other large cities, playing a new and dangerous game called SPUNKBALL. Spunkball consists of a group of teens in a car pulling up to a stoplight. and looking around for a car stopped near by with an open window. When one is spotted, the teens shout,  "SPUNKBALL", and throw a gasoline soaked rag that has been wrapped in aluminum foil through the open  window. On the outside of the foil is attached a small firecracker, with the fuse lit. When the firecracker explodes, it shreds the foil, and the rag is ignited causing a large flame that  may catch the interior of the car on fire. Spunkball playing has already claimed two lives, caused uncountable injuries due to burns, and caused thousands of dollars in damage to automobiles. The best defense, say authorities,  is to keep all
 windows rolled up when stopped at traffic lights, as  only cars with windows down are being targeted.  If you are at a red  light and hear a shout of "SPUNKBALL", and notice  something come flying in your window, the best thing to do is to have all passengers immediately exit the vehicle. DO NOT try to  retrieve the object, as it will ignite once the firecracker explodes.
