Car jacking warning

[vintageb3]

Not sure if this is a windup....but it could happen!

Subject: FW: Warning to drivers - Not a joke, worth bearing in mind (from
Strathclyde Police )

ALL CAR OWNERS AND CAR DRIVERS PLEASE READ Warning!!!!

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!!!

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

I got into my car the other day, and noticed a bit of paper on the back window. Got out, and it told me there was a bomb in the car, which might go off if I went to the shops..... then I got back in, and in the passenger seat was... Ossama Bin Laden....with Lord Lucan in the back, and a signed confession from J.F.K.'s assassins pinned to the dash! Who'd have thought it eh? Oh, I've heard there's an Alien Invasion on January 6th.... so you better panic buy and stock up on Bread, Petrol etc.

If “Car Jackers” were 'hiding', they'd just wait till you'd opened the car, threaten to batter you, nick your keys and drive off. They don't need a note. Al Quaeda and their ilk don't have “rumours”, they just do it.

Whew Elfman, i really thought your post was genuine until i read the end bit :p:D

[minimadtez]

Check for "that paper or whatever it is" BEFORE you unlock your car and get in.....

PROBLEM SOLVED :D
