WARNING TO ALL CAR OWNERS/DRIVERS PLEASE READ
Be aware of new car-jacking scheme.
You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. You start the
engine and select reverse gear.
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.
You then move the gear stick back into park or neutral, open your door and jump
out of your car to remove the piece of paper or whatever it is that is stuck to
the rear screen. 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.
You left your engine running and they practically mow you down as they speed
off in your car.
Many people who have suffered this kind of car theft have also had their homes
burgled, as the thieves have probably got the car owners house keys, which may
have been on a bunch with the car keys.
What to do if you see a piece of paper on your rear screen.
Simple, if you see the paper before you get into your car, leave it in place,
be aware the thieves are probably less than ten feet away from you.
Get into your car and lock the doors and just drive away and remove the paper
later!
If you notice the piece of paper after you have got into your car, again lock
your door and remove the paper later as instructed above.
Report the incident to your local Police who will want to know that car thieves
are trying this method of car theft in your area.
Regardless of pieces of paper stuck to your car or not, car-jacking is on the
increase, with many incidents ending in violence, so always get into the habit
of locking your car doors immediately when getting into your car!
