96.1 DJ CarJacked - Prize Money Stolen!

[JCMF3]

I just got an e-mail about this...

Today KISS 96.1 in Fort Collins was going to start the $10,000 Song Of The Day Contest. Chris Kelly was live at an auto dealer getting the prize money when SOMEONE CARJACKED HIM AND STOLE THE MONEY AND KISS-FM TRUCK!!!! :o :o :o

It happened live over the radio. Apparently, Chris Kelly was injured and shaken up by the attack. Right now, KISS-FM crew will not be on the air until Monday! :o There are air messages saying that they want people to call in if they have seen the truck or the money.

I am not sure if this is a stunt or what... what do you guys think???

I think it's a stunt.

Now that's what I call a bizarre chain of events. Petty theft I can understand, but this one takes the cake.

I would tend to think so... I don't know any of the details, but why would they be picking up $10,000 in cash (if it was a check, they'd just stop payment on it) with no security, and broadcast it over the air? If it really did happen, they're utterly stupid.

I also looked for the story on the Ft. Collins newspaper's website but saw no story on it.

Colorado is known for doing stunts this year I suppose. JCMF3, what do you think of this whole psycho ex-girlfriend thing on 95.7 Kiss Fm? I think it's fake.

Yes, I do also. Plus 95.7 had the whole "hacker" thing which ended up being a promotion for a new DJ, "Tommy The Hacker".

And yes the whole thing was a stunt... now they say they have the truck but the money is stolen, and instead there are "five clues" left behind, each leading to $1000 of the money.

The sad thing is, some people probably believe it.
