A STOMPer sent in this message to warn the community at large of
supposed new car-jacking ploys in Johor Bahru
In an email, the STOMPer says to be wary of pieces of paper stuck
at the rear windscreen of your vehicle.
Reproduced below is the possible scenario as related by the
STOMPer.
You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside.
After which 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
windscreen.
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.
By the time you take off the piece of paper at the rear end of your
car, the open door is also an open invite to the car-jacker who
will suddenly appear, jump into your car and take off.
They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car with
all your personal belongings in tow, i.e. purse, wallet, keys and
personal information.
So the next time you see a piece of paper stuck to the rear
windscreen, please just drive away and remove the paper later.
wah.. scary sia..
