Be aware of a new car-jacking scheme. You walk across the car park, unlock
your car and get inside, lock the doors, start the engine and select
reverse.
You look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space and
notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.
So, you shift back into park or neutral, unlock the doors and get out to
remove the paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view.

When you reach the back of your car the car-jackers appear out of nowhere,
jump into your car and take off.
Your engine was running and you would have  left your handbag or briefcase
in the car.

APART FROM NICKING ANYTHING OF VALUE, THEY MIGHT FIND YOUR ADDRESS AND THEY
ALREADY HAVE YOUR KEYS!

Remember, if you see your rear view blocked like this just drive away and
remove the paper later ! It is stuck to your window!

THIS SCAM IS HAPPENING IN LONDON RIGHT NOW AND WILL SURELY SPREAD TO OTHER
AREAS

Be thankful that you read this email. and forward it to friends and family
especially to women!


JUST BE AWARE AND TAKE CARE. IT MIGHT SOON ARRIVE IN YOUR AREA.

Thanks Derek - keeping safe is a minefield aint it!!

With all these warnings it is always worth checking on Snopes if they are infact true:

In this case I am afraid it is just another urban myth.

Sorry.

Thanks Sanders, I put it up just in case it was true, it sounded feasible ... no harm done though ...

Derekthefox :D

And if they did back out while you were taking the flyer off, you'd be flat?? Nasty thought!

It's always best be to aware...thanks Derek
