CARJACKING WARNING

Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!!

THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN

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, maybe credit cards, 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.

Report from a friend:
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.

Steve suggests:
I had to give the creeps ideas, but I assume they will also tie a tin can on the rear or front bumper to clang along as you start to back up. Men especially will panic, jump out to see what is wrong, and the car will be carjacked. This is a time to drive on down the road, make sure you are not followed, and stop after a few blocks to see what is happening. If a can is tied under the car, get back in fast, and drive to the nearest police station. Do not touch the can. The cops may decide to fingerprint it.

This world is very ugly. So, we all must think criminal at times to be prepared for the wicked.

In Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, or anywhere with a "castle domain law," take the gun in your car as you exit, loaded, cocked, and ready as you go in the house etc.
