UPDATE: Total False Alarm – read the comments section below for more.

5/26/2009:

Overheard on the Hoboken411 Live Police and Fire Action Channel – the HPD was notified by Maryland Police (why MD, I don’t know) about an Amber Alert in the Northeast area. They said to be on the lookout for a Silver Cadillac with Pennsylvania license plate GYK-8998. However, I looked up on the Amber Alert website and pulled the following information. Based on this report, an 8 year old girl and her mother were abducted a mile north of Philadelphia, and with slightly different vehicle make (although still a GM).
