Has anyone read or heard about marking vehicles with zip ties? I don't understand the procedure, and maybe it's yet one more case of the misbegotten cross breeding of social media and conspiracy theories. It sounds crazy to me, but from Old Hilo Town:
... a 24-year-old Volcano woman had exited the home improvement store and noticed a “zip-tie” attached to her vehicle.
The 55-year-old Pahoa man was attempting to exit the parking lot, and entered the woman’s vehicle in an attempt to move it out of the way, according to police. In the process, the 24-year-old woman was assaulted as she attempted to prevent the Pahoa man from moving her vehicle.
“There are stories on social media regarding “zip-ties” on vehicles being connected to possible abductions and human trafficking. At this time police cannot confirm any validity to that story in this case,” the department said in a media release.
