NEW WAY TO DO CAR JACKINGS

(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 car jackers 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.

I don't know about you, but I remove fliers etc from my screens before I take off. _b

Also, biker forum.

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people that get sucked in by these hoaxes.

The big give-away - if it's an email telling you to forward to others - it's a hoax.

Kiwi cars don't have rear view mirrors.

My car is such a filthy shit box I wouldn't notice a bit of paper through the bird shit and layers of road grime

Yes it was sent to me by a mate. Hoax or not, you can bet your riding gloves that this Idea will be taken on board by the crims. So watch out anyway. It could happen to any one of us.

Something stuck to a car or bike is nothing more than a challenge to see how fast we goes before it falls off.

If they don't like the way I ride - stay off the footpath.

Now ain't that the truth!!!

Oh, yeah, about those bloody chain hoaxes, this one was around over a year ago - the increase in this type of offences since then is about .0000013 percent - slower than the population growth.

This particular piece of crap has been doing the rounds of email inboxes since 2005. For Christ's sake, copy and paste a line from any email warning you of doom and gloom into Google and hit enter! You will be AMAZED at the information you can find this way...
