Got this in my email. Maybe it's old, IDK:

Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!!


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 purse 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.


Tell your friends!

 

dang.....good thing you didnt stop! lol

 

Old or not, it's worth passing on. If it ever does happen, at least they will have been warned.

Show off Biff

If I was a car-jacker, that scenario sounds like a good way to go....

 

This thing has been around for 5-6 years. I don't know where you live in Ohio, Jeff, but does mail take that long to get there. Anyway False then and False now.

In fact, this is ONE of the false postings that Andy Rooney talked about several years back. He stated that it did sound real to him, but why would a potential carjacker wait and take the chance of you not seeing the paper on the window. The maggot could just confront you and take the purse, car and possibly jewelry (and if shopping, the parcels and YOU) and be out of the parking lot in a flash.

 

Whenever I run across these types of stories/scenarios via email or forums,
the first thing I do is a google search with "snopes" and some part of the
story. I have relatives emailing me all sorts of stuff that they would discover
was an urban legend, if they'd just look it up first...

I'm gonna sneak over to some of the Texas guys' houses and put paper on their back windows. haha.

 

Well at least I can fire that back to the goof who sent it to me.

 

Fake or not, I'd bet they would stop with a .45 in their face :)
