WARNING: CAR JACKING SCHEME

got this from euroforums.ca
What a sad world we live in....
: Please read - notice on car (not a joke)

Warning ....!!!!

Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we
drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took
it
off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me
not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car.
Then we received this email yesterday:

'WARNING FROM POLICE - BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE

--NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS' (NO T 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 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.
