A friend sent this to me and I wanted to share it with you. I wasn't sure if it was one of those "urban legends" or not, but I thought if it could help at least one person...it was worth the post! I would probably fall for this and the scariest part for me would be that I may have my furbabies in the car with me at the time!!!
**WARNING FROM POLICE***
**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 you r 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 in to the wrong hands.
