This watz happening in America now. This tactic sooner or later
is going to spread here. Please that note and take pre-caution even
though most of us park our cars "back-in " first.

Be aware of new car-jacking scheme
Read, then forward this email - BE AWARE and BE SAFE
Imagine: You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and
get
inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift
into
REVERSE. Habit! You look into the rear-view window to back out
of
your parking space and you notice a piece of paper, some sort
of
advertisement stuck to your rear window.
So, you shift into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out of your
vehicle 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 jump
out of
nowhere ...
jump into your car and take off -- your engine was running, your
purse is in
the car,
and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your
car.
BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME
Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your
window
later.........
and be thankful that you read this email and that you forwarded it
to your
friends.
