The victims include two members of the Board of Selectmen. Police say they are working with local banks to investigate the persistent and growing problem. Capt. Kenny Payne said Wednesday the first incident in the city was reported about 18 months ago. He said since then he has seen about 50 new cases from all three of the local banks. ------------------ Here is a StreetView of the Plaquemine Police Station... please don't laugh... http://tinyurl.com/4pffoc _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
