New Carjacking Scheme-Forewarned is Forearmed

One of my readers e-mailed this to me. I think it warrants at least a headsup. Apparently, people have already fallen victim to this scheme. Me I'm trapped in ice up on my mountain so I won't be going anywhere for awhile. But, I guarantee I'll be filing this info in the back of my mind for when I next travel.

My regular column will be posted as usual on Monday. This week I discuss my experience with Twitter.


'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 parking lot, unlock your car and get inside.

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 window.

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.

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 mow you down 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, 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.
