Beware

[WV Hillbilly]

'**WARNING FROM POLICE*****BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE-- NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (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 there rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, 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 carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump 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 carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!



**BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.***



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 p ersonal i nformation and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall in to the wrong hands.

Again, the reminders.

1. Be aware of your surroundings. People walking toward you, look them straight in the face. Most will ignore you or say Hello. Acknowledge them, but keep your eyes on the parking lot and vehicles.

2. As SOON as you get in your car, hit the 'Lock all doors' button.

3. Don't forget to check your backseat when you get in. (Mine is usually so full of 'garbage,' I can't imagine anybody trying to hide back there, but they do.)

4. Carry a cell phone at all times. Make sure it's turned ON.

5. I never carry a "purse." That's an invite. My wallet stays hidden in my vehicle, and I take my ID, a check folded in half, and a credit card with me when I go shopping. Nothing in my hands to grab. Nothing in my cart to grab.

If this kind of thing isn't a wide spread crime, spreading it around, sure gives the crooks, another idea how to complete their mission.
I carry everywhere (yes even to church) I go, so if they want my car, or anything else that I own, they can give it a try. I worked to hard, to let anyone take MY property, or mine, or my loved ones life. Mr. Ruger, and I will defend to the death if necessary.
Let the comments begin.

Knew that was A Urban Legend the Moment I read the
First sentence. & then saw "Please,keep this circulating"

noodle said People walking toward you, look them straight in the face. Most will ignore you or say Hello.

I always Do that out of Curtesy Smile & say hi
Even if they were a crack Head I'd do it.
Not that I could Tell a Crackhead from an off duty Cop, priest, or
politician. :P

Although the Cop might Give a dirty look,
the Crackhead may Smile & say hi
the Politician might try & sell me something
& the priest may run away Signing the cross & saying something in Latin
