Heads up everyone!
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 rear-view 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 car jackers 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? 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.
I'm going to become paranoid!

Yah, I heard about this. It seems like peddling backwards to keep up with these criminals....I would totally get out of my car to remove the paper...crazy...

Now, this is some extremely good advice and something I would have never thought of but thieves seem to be so skilled at creating new schemes. Thanks, Guido! Chris
