There have been reports in surrounding areas of citizens finding counterfeit money underneath the windshield wiper of their parked vehicles. The counterfeit money will appear to look authentic and may very well be authentic. We strongly advise all citizens to NOT immediately approach their vehicle if they see something like this; instead, call 911 and report suspicious activity.
The motive for this is unclear, at this time. However, some research has revealed this is one method of stealing cars.
We have not seen this activity in our area. However, we wanted to make the public aware just in case.
