Gangs marking cars at ranges

[nosimij]

This was posted in my club news letter.  I do not know the source, but it does make one think.  Does anyone know if this is actually true?

While I was in a Denver gun store today, my car was tagged on the wheel in the parking lot. The gangs do this on wheels or bumpers at gun stores, shooting ranges, gun shows etc. Later when you are parked at a restaurant, hotel, or other location that's less well guarded or under video surveillance, other gang members spot the marker and break into the car for a quick grab.

This is so RAMPANT in San Antonio where we were for a National shoot this summer, the police chief of that county came out to brief the 400 participants of our competition. Too bad three teams had already been victimized the first day. This is the first I've heard of this in Denver. Please pass this info along to your 2nd amendment list.

Again I am NOT the source but if this is true I am concerned.

NRA is claiming that this is not a real story.

Just because you are paranoid does not mean that you should not watch your back because there could be somebody there.

Sorry if this caused any excitement.

Check Snopes, Not true.

May not be true, but does not mean it isn't happening:

I need to do some searching, but just last week there were accounts of shooters getting hit in Las Vegas.   Major shoot, stop at restaurant, and back to a convention center for awards.  Car was hit at the restaurant, and there were issues at the convention center.

When I find the post on it I will put it on here.  Watch your car!
