The following has been sent to me by a friend, who is one of a chain sending it out.

Do not know the validity of it, but as it sounds very plausable in this day and age I though I would publish it for general info, especially for the women on here:

"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 car park, unlock your car and get inside. You
start the engine put it into Reverse.

When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your
space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle
of the rear window. So, you stop 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 run you over 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, lock your doors and 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.


Please tell all your friends"

who need to look out the back when reversing?   

Seriously though, good warning. If i see something stuck to the windows i usually remove it before getting in 

I think I read something along those lines a year or two ago [ed](OK, Make that 4 years in the light of the post above!!).[/ed]  But that's the internet.

I always pays to be vigilant when getting in/out of a car.

One of my gripes with central locking is that it usually opens all the doors when you probably only want to get out of one!

i had this sent to me last week, but always a good reminder lizzie

Then they deserve a good kicking, dont they?

Yet another "Please forward to everyone" e-mail. Just a way of gathering e-mail addresses and pc info. I delete them. Never foward them to anyone.
