Warning To All Car Owners/drivers Please Read

I don't know whether this is true but its worth being aware.

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!
