Car Jacking Warning

[M13KYF]

This may be a hoax but better safe than sorry

 

 

 

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

[Zzzz...]

Force intelligence Bureau ?????? really

 

F.I.B for short... they must be fibbing...

 

also the warning comes from strathclyde police... and it refers to Machester and London?

 

 

but it is plausible, so always worth thinking about what kind of scenes could develop, where a TWOCer would strike

 

THANKS!

This probably originated from ONE person having this done. It is possible as is anything really, however i know when ever i usually leave the car in a place where i am very unfamiliar or there are lots of people around, i tend to take my keys out with me.

That's sound advice, and it also applies at service stations when you go into the kiosk to pay for your petrol. I always lock the car as soon as I step out to fill up.

This is likely to be a mandatory requirement of your Insurance company and if you don't, and it gets nicked, you may run into problems

Really? I thought it would only be if you leave the keys in your car.

 

I personally always close the car door if i step out of the car and if i have to move anywhere over 5m from it, i will lock the car aswell. Far too much that can go missing int he car and the car itself.
