New Car Jacking Scam

[Karma Supra]

This is from a Manchester Police Officer

Beware of New Car Jacking Scam

Imagine you walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside.

Then you lock all the 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 unlock your doors and jump out of your car to remove the paper

(or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view......................

When you reach the back of your car, a car-jacker appears out of nowhere, jumps into your car and takes off.

Your engine would be running (ladies would have their handbag in the car) and they practically mow you down as they speed of in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED

If you notice something on your rear windscreen, just drive away and

remove the paper later and be thankful you read this notice.

PLEASE inform all friends and family, especially women. A handbag contains all identification and you certainly don't want someone knowing your home address when they already have your keys!!!!!

:o Thats pretty bad. Can see it working too! I know how annoying it is when there is something under your wiper or on window. Going to have to remember that one. I put my phone on charge in the car at times too so couldnt even phone quickly for help! :(

Be vigilant people.
