Be aware of new car-jacking scheme
Read, then forward this email - BE AWARE and BE SAFE
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. Habit! You look into the rear-view window to back out of
your parking space and you notice a piece of paper, some sort of
advertisement stuck to your rear window.
So, you shift into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out of your vehicle 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 jump out of
nowhere ...
jump into your car and take off -- your engine was running, your purse is in
the car,
and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.
BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME
Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window
later.........
and be thankful that you read this email and that you forwarded it to your
friends.
