Watch! A New Way of Car-Jacking



THIS NOT A JOKE: It is from the Florida Highway Patrol. Please pass this on to all the women you know. Use the email icon at the end of this article.

There's a new way of car-jacking that we want to alert you about. Here's how it happens:

You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine andshift into REVERSE, and you look into the rearview 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 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! Your engine was running, and ladies would have their purse in the car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS BEING USED. If this happens to you just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later. Please pass this information to others. A purse contains all of your identification, including your home address. They already HAVE your keys!
