TAKE CARE EVERYONE !!!

PLEASE READ. MAY BE HELPFUL AND PLEASE TAKE CARE!!

ALL CAR OWNERS AND CAR DRIVERS PLEASE READ Warning!!!!

Be aware of new car-jacking scheme.

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

lock all your doors, start the engine and shift or put 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 shift the gear stick back into park or neutral, 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!!

Your engine was running, you would have left your purse in the car and

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

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED IN

LONDON/MANCHESTER MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!

Just drive away and remove the paper later! It is stuck to your window

and be thankful that you read this email.

I hope you will forward this to friends and family especially to

women! A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT

want someone getting your home address. They already HAVE your keys!!!

JUST BE AWARE AND TAKE CARE IT WILL PROBABLY SOON ARRIVE IN YOUR AREA

Hoax hoax hoaxy hoax.

As usual.

Yes I had an e-mail about this a few months ago - terrible

oy oy oy this one's quite old now ..

Come on, folks, let's just check these things before we post them. Every time I see a PLEASE READ THIS!!! I know it's going to be another bloody hoax.

(Oh, don't think I'm applying for the job, just not realistic )

OOOh! A hoax!

It doesn't matter surely if it's a chain letter, what matters is that people aren't caught out by scams like this surely?

But it's an imaginary scam. You're making people worry about a problem that doesn't exist.

but it doesn't do any harm to be aware of a potential risk - as long as you don't get so scared you refuse to leave your house

No I'm not, I'm trying to make sure people are more aware of things that aren't always as they seem. Not trying to sensationalise or scare-monger at all. Sorry if it came across that way!

Cheers Squonk, that's what I meant

I'd rather people worried about risks that are real.

This warning from the police isn't real - this isn't happening in Manchester or London, or anywhere else.

Let's give a car jacker an idea.
