spotted this on another forum i use
Notice on car! (not a joke)
Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public
parking area. 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 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:
'WARNING FROM POLICE
BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--NEW WAY TO
DO CAR JACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'
.. You walk across the car park , unlock your car and get inside. You
start the engine and shift into Reverse.
When you look into the 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 neutral, 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. 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
personal information and identification documents, and you
certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
Please pass this on.

It says it's an urban myth and it's false and all that, but what's to stop someone from trying that?
It's the same principle as something that happened to someone I know.
They'd recently bought a new Audi TT, it was a few weeks old when they parked it up in a multi-storey car park. When they returned to their car about an hour after leaving it, they got in, reversed out of their parking space and heard a scraping noise coming from underneath the car, so they got out, engine still running, to have a look. Someone had tied 2 tin cans to something underneath the car, and just as they spotted it, 2 blokes jumped in the car and sped off...
Same prinicple, and that really happened...

simple dont step out of car without cars on you. simple and its what the police have been telling you for years same with people having thier gates closed or bins in the way on driveway. Only mugs or people being a bit lazy will fall for those tricks.

does happen, another is frosty morning, come out, turn your car on to get it warmed up while you scrape the window or worse go inside to get a jug or warm water to clear the windows.
Think the car is safe on the drive as you run in and back out???
Not guilty of doing this honest lol!!!
