Brian Molloy

I have no idea whether Brian Molloy is/was a member of the Strathclyde Police. He might well be. If he is, I'm sure he has better things to do with his time than sit down and email warnings! That's one of the giveaways with this hoax. Does anyone really think the police are interested in sending email warnings to them about petty crimes when they've got their work cut out keeping up with the criminals in their area.

As usual it's a hoax, in a way. Nothing to do with computers this. Just designed to scare you.

Just make sure you take the usual, sensible precautions when you park your car.
