Got this (again) today and even if it's not a real thing, we all need to beware of our surroundings, watch for the things that may cause us harm. Please take it as a heads up warning... thanks!

�WARNING TO ALL MOTORISTS!!!�������������������������������������� �����������������


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


THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN

BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--

NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT 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 purs e 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.

It may be a hoax, but it's still solid advice.
Most muggings and carjackings can be avoided with a little common sense.

Wow...I wouldn't have thought twice about getting out and removing it. You're right...even if it's a hoax, it's still a good tip.

And THAT, my good people, is why you should have a CCW license and CARRY. That way you can blast 'em once their backs are turned as they get into your car Except in NY, NJ, & Kalifornia.

I agree and I'd also add that now the idea is out there, that is, thanks to whom ever started this hoax?

If nothing else it reminds us to be careful and to keep one eye open at all times.
