A WARNING FROM POLICE
This is the
thing these days, with people out of work and needing cash.
Beware,
it's headed your way.
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 CARJACKING (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 it to fall into the wrong hands.
Please
keep this going and tell all your friends
