just a little warning !!!!

[Chad]

Hi everyone, I just thought I would forward this email on as Christmas is a time we will have to be more on our gaurd than usual, have a good Crimbo, hope to see you soon.. chad....
PLEASE READ. MAY BE HELPFUL AND PLEASE TAKE CARE!!

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

Given that most car drivers are incapable of noticing emergency vehicles with their blues and twos on,never mind approaching motorbikes, do you really think they`d notice a bit of paper stuck to their rear window ????

Glad to here thats false.....

This could give a would be car-jacker a really good idea, so the possibility of a first time still exhists. My wifes purse got stolen by a member of the public at work a week ago. The lady sent in her young child then pretended to go after him. when she was confronted to explain what she was doing in the office area she shouted at her boy blaming him for dropping her stuff when in actual fact she was kneeling on the floor under the desk nicking the purse.

If you understand the logistics of a womans bag you will understand when I say the woman had to search for the purse. She dug past the I-Pod, past the emergency jewelry and umbrella, past the make up and loose chainge to get to it. She knew what she was looking for.

Car jacking not quite a pick pocket but in a public building in a private office is new to me.........

For my money I'll take the warning and run.......

A mate at TVP said it was all to real....

[FatFergie]

I always try to reverse into the parking space.
I know......................... smug bollix.

[Chad]

even if its false its a very plausable possibility

lets face it most men would just switch on the rear wipers to get rid of it whilst driving off

False or not, a worthwhile reminder not to switch off.

3 bikers killed in Cornwall in last 4 weeks so keep it upright and get home!
Sod getting that third car on the overtake, get home unscathed and spend time with your kids.

Merry Christmas All.
