My better half came across this today so thought I'd pass it on....

 

 

BEWARE OF NEW CAR-JACKING SCAM - NOT A JOKE!

 

I thought that I would share this with you all in case anyone encounters this, it maybe in the UK now but could spread so please pass this on to as many pepole as you can.

 

This is from a Manchester Police Officer.

 

Imagine you walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside.

Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into reverse. 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.

So,you unlock your doors and jump out of your car to remove the 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. Your engine would be running (Ladies would have their handbag in the

car) and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED

Just drive away and remove the paper from your window later and be

thankful you read this notice.

 

 

PLEASE inform all friends and family, especially women. A handbag

contains all identification and you certainly do not want someone knowing your home address, as they already have your keys!!!

And then in my case, 20 seconds later the alram is sounding and the engine shuts down as cliffords Black Jack - anti hi jack kicks in :dance:.

 

I then run up to the guy pull him out of the car and kick the living... :slap::hyper:::mac1: out of him.

LOL Maybe you should start a viral warning email to all carjackers Stu :D:D

LOL :rofl:

there have been a spat of performance car thefts mainly in surrey, one of the new ways is to jump the owner first thing in the morning or break into the house or even better...trigger the alarm by hitting or rocking the car...after a few goes the owner comes out in their dressing gown with the key in their hand to investigate and gets held up by 3-4 blokes who then drive off

LMFAO....me too!!

Good post mate, will bear that in mind, I would have got out the car to remove the paper, unless it was a parking ticket, I drive around with it on the windscreen for as long as possible without opening it and just park anywhere I want, seems to work for a while.

 

Whats favorite round this way is the old rocking the car / banging the windows to set the alarm off, they do it all night until the owner gets pissed of and locks the car without arming it and then they nab it.
