...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. |

I've also been warned recently about leaving my car unlocked at the garage when paying for fuel.
A lady went to an all night garage, filled with fuel, then went to the night window to pay,
the attendant said 'come inside' and the lady said it was ok as she didn't want anything else.
The attendant again pleaded with her 'please come inside', the lady did as she was asked.
Once inside the attendant told how she saw a man dressed in dark clothes had climbed in the back seat of her car and layed down.
The police were called but the man took off before they arrived but said the profile matched exactly to rapist they had been trying to catch.
Ladies please be careful and always lock your car doors |

Just goes to show. There is no such thing as a new scam. Just old ones making their way back around. |

What if I park my car at 7a.m. and go to the airport and take a flight to Madrid and stay there for a week. Does the hijackers nip away to use the toilet ? What does he eat ? How does he know what time i'm coming back ? Poor bugger deserves a car after a wait like that. |

hypothetically the situation does not exist, so he can eat a hypothetical fuck all,and fuck off to his hypothetical home,the hypothetical hypothetical thieving bastard. |

Vigilant is the word. I stopped at the chemist for a perscription for a few mins and when I got back to the car a tyre was flat. hmph!
A young man offered to help me with it, so I unlocked the car to get the jack and spare. Forgot to lock it again.
However, the guy needed the bolt unlocker which wa in the glove. When I looked in the car my blauplunk music system gone, my bag gone, my brief case gone!!!!!
I stopped a large looking guy walking by and asked him if he would help me get the id of the guy changing my tyre which he did and I got him to accompany me to make a photocopy nearby. I phone my ex hub who came to help and then I reported it to the police.
The guy was a known rip off gang member. I did not get my blauplunk bag or briefcase back but they did manage to return my papers (driving licence etc.) for which I was grateful.
There were at least two, maybe three of them, but I only saw the one who "helped" me not the ones helping themselves.
So, yes, be vigilant. |

This "Warning" is like the virus warnings still doing the rounds.. You get to the bit where it says it was found this morning and Microsoft and McAfee had classified it! There is no known cure at this time!
Dead giveaway! Microsoft do not classify any kind of virus! and all the emails look the same as the one before! The idea was to saturate the email system which back in the early 2000's was not as robust as today..  |
