Police urging parents to remove stick figure bumper stickers

NEW YORK (WABC) -- There is an important warning for parents who use certain bumper stickers on their cars and minivans.

Several police departments are urging parents to remove the popular stick figure stickers on their cars and minivans.

In one example, the bumper stickers and decals show where the parents work, and where the children go to school.

Police say they give criminals information they could use to rob a home or hurt a family.
