Very "weird" that police have to give this warning to adults but the safety note is worth sharing nevertheless as locals confuse social media for the much harsher real world . . .
@kcpolice -- We've had multiple reports of victims selling phones on Facebook Marketplace getting robbed in the last few weeks. The "buyer" asks to meet in & around Swope Park. Use an internet exchange zone at 1 of our 6 stations instead.
Careful out there . . .
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't meet anyone I knew at Swope Park let alone a stranger on the web. They really should change the name of that park, it used to be such a beautiful place and now it's been ruined by people who can't seem to adjust to a normal living environment.
They should change the name to NOPE PARK.
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, I applaude the KCPD for implementing the internet exchange zones.
ReplyDeleteOr meet at a QuikTrip.
