Warning - New Car-Jacking Technique!

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.

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

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