Be aware of new car-jacking scheme.

You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift or put 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 the gear stick back into park or neutral, 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 car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off!! Your engine was running, you would have left your purse in the car and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED IN GLASGOW AND MANCHESTER
AND IS MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!

Just drive away and remove the paper later! It is stuck to your Window and be thankful that you read this email. I hope you will forward this to friends and family especially to women! A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home address. They
already HAVE your keys!!!

I have been sent this warning and asked that it be distributed widely to alert everyone -



JUST BE AWARE AND TAKE CARE IT WILL PROBABLY SOON ARRIVE IN YOUR AREA


Did anybody heard that? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Please be assured this is another urban myth - there are a number of variations of this story in the UK - usually involving a lucky escape variation, where the victim discovered gaffa tape and a knife that would have been used had they not evaded the attacker.

So please - don't have nightmares.

Don't worry about bits of paper stuck to your rear window ~~

The thieves in Manchester are much more subtle that that .


About 4 days ago one of my sons neighbours was hit on the head whilst unlocking his car after having a meal out in the city with his partner ~ his wallet her purse and house keys were taken and they drove off in his car.
