On vehicles at the Fox Valley Mall in Aurora, a church in West Chicago, and a church and theater in South Barrington, the cards bore messages saying that "something terrible is going to happen in Aurora 12/31/16. The wise will find the truth and act before it is too late"; "If you are vigilant and watchful, the clues will appear as you travel the roadways"; "The answer is all around you. But will you find it before the evil deed is done?"; and "seek 'it happens 12/31/16' in the book of face."
