BANGOR, Maine (UPI) -- A Maine police officer shared a message for a woman spotted texting behind the wheel with a Craigslist-style "Missed Connections" post.

The Bangor Police Department published the "Missed Connections" post, authored by an officer only identified as TC, on its Facebook page.

TC, using flowery romantic language reminiscent of Craigslist Missed Connections personals, details a recent incident where he spotted a woman traveling in the other direction texting behind the wheel.

The post reads:

"Missed Connections.

The folks behind you were patient, friendly, possibly missing out on the lunch special at Panda Garden. All because you did not look up.
