Beware Holiday Shoppers !!!!
 

I don't know if this is a "Urban Legend" or "Not" , But is still makes sense that we are all careful when out Holiday Shopping. :) :)


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,
You look into the rear view mirror to back out of your parking space
and you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.
So, you shift into PARK, open your door and jump out of your car to remove that paper, or whatever it is, that is obstructing your view.
Before you reach the back of your car, the car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off!!
They didn't even have to start your car remember, the engine was running, and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. And ladies, remember, your purse in the car — your money, credit cards, driver's license, social security number, home address, and no telling what other information that might prove valuable to this thief. BE AWARE THAT THIS NEW SCHEME IS NOW BEING USED.
Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later,
and be thankful that you read this email.
I hope you will forward this to friends and family! ...... especially to women!
As noted earlier, your purse contains all of your identification and you certainly DO NOT want someone getting your home address.
Remember, THEY PROBALY ALSO HAVE YOUR HOUSE-KEYS. And daytime home invasions with concommitant personal assault are becoming commonplace today.
This scheme has been reported to have occurred in the states of : Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio,
Tennessee, and Vermont.
We are asking that anyone traveling within these states be mindful of this threat. Especially within their major cities.

Its a urban legand. Here is a great site to check out stories to find out if they are true or not: http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/carjack.asp

oh my gosh. toooo scary! my daughter and i made a quik run to food lion tonight at 9pm to get coconut, tea bags and "tp" ha ha. i have always been the kind to look around before we get out of the car at night when its just me and her. but to think they are preying on folks when they come back to their cars is just scary. and baiting them with a piece of paper. that's just low. thanks for posting this. just makes me more and more aware of the evil a$$ holes out there and keeps me on my guard!

also i wanted to add that with the xmas season upon us...predators and thieves are in full force now. they are lurking, waiting for those with money on their possession shopping for xmas presents. i've also heard of older, elderly people being held up and had their xmas presents they just bought hi-jacked. i hope all the women here on yt will be extra careful during this season. i dont want to see anything bad happen to any of us, so lets all make a pact to buy some mace and do as my daughter does....learn martial arts!...hee hee, i know we can't all do that, ME ESPECIALLY, i'd look like a real dummy trying that in my present condition, :eek: but let's all make an extra effort to stay alert this holiday season and to stay safe!

GOOD POST - urban legend or not -

In HOUSTON yesterday - BIG Car chase and guess what - the trunk of the car was FULL of purses - The JERKS are out there - Please watch yourselves EXTRA CAREFULLY during the holidays
