    Rear Window Notice (Not a Joke folks)

    Got this from a friend today. This ahs been happening in the area he lives.

    Just so you all know.



    Notice on car(not a joke)

    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 petrol. 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

    BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--NEW WAY TO

    DO CAR JACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'

    You walk across the car parking , 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 neutral, 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 d o cuments, and you

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

    Please pass this on.

    "When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for petrol" give it to the boys in blue, who knows it might give them a clue as to who left it there, or even cctv footage from the petrol station.

            Fair enough, sorry to hear that. Hopefully we're all OK with our old Audis and rust VW runarounds. Good to stay vigilant though...

                    That has been doing the rounds via email for years, for the most part it is not true!

                    Warning claims parking lot carjackers are placing flyers or $100 bills on the windows of cars, then taking the cars when drivers step out of their vehicles to remove them.
