A form of carjacking

You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car, and get inside. Then you start the engine and shift into REVERSE, and 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 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 into your car and take off! Your engine was running and 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...

BE AWARE OF THIS SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later, and be thankful that you read this. A purse contains all of your identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home address. They already HAVE your keys!

Which reminds me, the car registration paperwork should be kept in your wallet, not in the car. If the car is stolen, they know where you, the owner lives.
