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 GLASGOW AND MANCHESTER
AND IS 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

if you cant notice a piece of paper stuck to your back window before you get in the car then in my opinion your too unobservant to be driving a car anyway. :D

i really cant believe how many people walk around the world in day dream. you should always expect trouble

Then it's likely you'll be driving forwards out of the parking bay, and won't worry about the piece of paper over the rear window!?

D :D)

you can still see through the glass to the rear window, your going to spot a bit of paper stuck to it, unless your wearing blinkers -_-

i tend to pay attention when im awake, it comes from being slightly obsessive :D

like i said, unagi. you've either got it or you dont :cry:


your so random man =]
