just received this email off a mate, please read it.



This is from a Manchester Police Officer - Beware of a new car-jacking
scam

Imagine you walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside.
Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift 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 unlock your doors and jump out of your car to remove the 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 would be running (Ladies would have their handbag in the car) and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

Please be aware of this scheme that is now being used

Just drive away and remove the paper from your window later and be
thankful you read this notice.

Please inform all friends and family, especially women. A handbag
contains all identification and you certainly do not want someone knowing your home address, as they already have your keys!!!

 

 

Thanks for the info bud.
But i never park my car in any car park

 

Thats normally keith with his "hello big boy" chat ups

must tell my wife to look behind her when she reverses then and not to rely on the bumpers

Thanks mate, i'll let my mates know

 

digita1dragon, Yeah - PMSL - wouldn't work on a 3 door either - just get a nice view of the rear wing when reversing anyway. They'd have to stick shit over my side views....!!!

Still worth remembering though - just in case

Alan Cox

 

Theres loads of speculation on this sort of stuff, just because its on the urbanlegends site it doesnt mean its not true.

 

cool cheers for the heads up

 

 

Bloody bastad's, what can you do to get it into these fucker's heads to get a life and get a fookin job!

 

On the Urban Legends site it says most hijackers have a weapon rather than trying to trick u out of the car

Well not true in my case, they tried to trick me out by telling me I had brake fluid over my back wheel, wernt the saph but my old three door and had only picked it up the night before so didnt know what condition it was really in, what they didnt know was i was on my way to get an alarm fitted so they couldve probs just broke into it and driven it away while i brought me paper lol

As said in Andys warning three guys standing by a "modded" car of sorts as soon as i had got in and started mine a knock on the window, but gotta wiat for u to start it cause even tho u de alarmed it they dont know what imobilisers u got or may have, once its started they just gotta get u out (thats where anti hijack devices come into there own, just let em take it, and go pick it up when SAFE to do so )

I DIDNT get out and still kept me car , pulled up round the corner to check it and bone dry, as i drove away from them heard them say "bet it fuckin aint his anyway" so didnt exactly expect to find anything on the wheel lol.

What is scary is im big enough and ugly enough (ye and we dont need no comments on the ugly thank u ) to look after myself but my ex wife who is 4ft nothing also used to drive the car and she wouldve probably tried putting up more fight than i would for a car

Why that is scary (if u cant work it out) is ONE WEEK later same spot a guy was ripped out of his escose and put in intensive care by car jackers

And none of that is urban legend all 100% real that I can vouch for


Thanks 4 the warning tho Andy

Shows just how easy it could be

Only probs with circulating these warnings tho it can give ideas to those that aint clever enough to think of em themselves ie most car thieving scum

Well in my experience they just ripped the door open at some lights and tried to drag me out by my throat.

Luckily for me my PANIC instinct kicked in.

Now I ALWAYS lock the doors, ALWAYS... but thanks for the info.

 

Surely this should read:

If you see a piece of paper on your back window rub your hands with glee. Stop, pull out your trusty sharp screwdriver and wait for the car jackers to run into there own trap.

 

To be honest cola, i always lock the doors aswell except im in a shonky GLX

 

i had it a week after i got my car,i had my sister and a mate in the car.

one bloke stood in front of my car as my sister was getting in and the other blocked the exit to the petrol station,i locked the doors (as i didn't even have the alarm at this stage to do it for me) then done my window down a little bit to get the first bloke out of the way then i just put my right foot down and went out the entrance.

couple of days later i got me a top cliford and pager system.

 

Damn!

 

Oh so spose we find that real funny do we

Well just hope u drinking a can of Coke while u laughing a
