Car Owners - Beware!

After yesterday's post on how you should protect yourself from theft in ATMs, here is another warning for protecting your self from car theft.
I hope you never face the situation but just in case you do, being forewarned is being forearmed.

ATTN ALL CAR USERS

Subject: Warning From Indian Police Dept - It can happen to
anyone....Warning. .!!!!

Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public car park. As
we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When
I took it off (after I got home), it was a receipt for petrol. Luckily
my friend had told me not to stop, as it could be someone waiting for
me to get out of the car.

Then we received this email yesterday.
MESSAGE FROM POLICE:

"THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW
OF YOUR VEHICLE. NEW WAY TO DO CAR-JACKINGS."
You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. You
start the engine and put it into Reverse.
When you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your space, you
notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear screen. So you
stop, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it
is), because it is obstructing your view. Then when you reach the back
of your car, is when the car-jackers appear out of nowhere. They jump
in and take off. They practically run you over as they speed off.

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 compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to the back window, lock your doors
and 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.

POLICE ALSO STATED THAT:
If you are driving at night and were attacked with eggs on your car's
windshield, DO NOT operate your wiper or spray any water. Eggs mixed
with water become milky and block your vision up to 92.5 %.You are
forced to stop at road side and become victim of robbery. This is new
technique used by robbers.

Take care and Safe Driving
