car jacking

Just saw this today and wanted to pass the word.





'WARNING FROM POLICE



THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN

BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--


NEW WAY TO DO CARJ ACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'

Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating... You walk

across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You

start the engine and shift into Reverse.


When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your

parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle

of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your

doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or

whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach

the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out

of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically

mow you down as they speed off in your car.


And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car.

So now the carj acker has your car, your home address, your

money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are

now compromised!


BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.


If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just

drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you

read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and

family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of

personal information and identification documents, and you

certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.

Thanks for sharing. There are some sick and desperate people out there.

An email was sent to my wife about this at her work place.

another reason to drive a standard :lol:

And while you can never be too careful, let's not border on paranoia either.

I received this last year.

I remedy the problem by taking the keys with me every time I get out of my car and usually lock my doors.I already had an attempted car theft once.It was a customized truck.A gun always detours thieves.
