    Default One Way Not to Get Car Jacked

    My mom forwarded me this email and I thought it would be good to post it on here.

    BEWARE OF PAPER IN THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE

    NEW WAY TO DO CAR JACKING (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 rear view mirror to back out of your parking
    space, yo u 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 car jacker has your car, your home address, your money, and
    your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!

    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.



    Thank you.

    That was verified as false in 2004, 2005 and last year, according to several "myth" websites. Later, QD.
