Warning - New Car-Jacking Technique!

Jun 08, 2009 7 Replies

Just got this sent to me, and thought it might be important enough to pass along.



================================================================ *_Warning...!!!! Warning..!!!!


Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public



parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the



rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home,



it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me not to* *



stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the



car Then we received this email yesterday:



**_ WARNING FROM POLICE_* *_

THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN_**



BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--* * NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (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 carjacker 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.**_ ================================================================

Naww, I carry a wallet in my pocket - that probably weighs 5 lbs, and is leading to curvature of my spine when I sit down.

Actually, I've seen a lot of men carrying purses. They call them something else though. Tote-bags, waist pouches, whatever. Seems to have been a fad for a few years.

Winston:

Yeah Cliff posted the same thing. Sorry, it sounded plausible to me.

No problem. Thanks for the concern!

I used to carry a .380 in a walkman bag. Remember those days of portable cd players? Damn those MP3 players.

players? Damn

Wes:

Meet a lot of recalcitrant machines to repair? LOL
