car-jacking scheme
jimgiblett - 19/12/06 at 01:33 PM

This seems to be doing the rounds at the moment sounds plausible....Apologies if youve all seen before....


ALL CAR OWNERS AND CAR DRIVERS PLEASE READ Warning!!!!

Be aware of new car-jacking scheme.

You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. Then you

lock all your doors, start the engine and shift or put into reverse.

You look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space and

you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.

So, you shift the gear stick back into park or 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 car-jackers

appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off!!

Your engine was running, you would have left your purse in the car and

they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED IN

LONDON/MANCHESTER MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!

Just drive away and remove the paper later! It is stuck to your window

and be thankful that you read this email.

I hope you will forward this to friends and family especially to

women! A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT

want someone getting your home address. They already HAVE your keys!!!

JUST BE AWARE AND TAKE CARE IT WILL PROBABLY SOON ARRIVE IN YOUR AREA

would be better idea to chek the windows anyway before you launch off

or when you exit do like always...

park shutdown keys out lock...

Tks

p.d. if they want to do any harm they will do it..

Use the mirrors!

I would never get out my car with the keys still in the ignition, especially in a public car park!

Otherwise you will have nothing to stab them in the eye with!

Your insurance company will pi$$ themselves laughing when you try to claim for the theft

Doesn't Force Intelligence Bureau abbreviate to fib ?

This has been going the rounds for a while and yes, the technique probably is spreading throughout the country, courtesy of internet postings

Makes you think though.

I've got no windows!

Although they could stick it to my visor!
