BEWARE A NEW CAR JACKING SCHEME IS NOW BEING USED

SIMPLE AS A PAPER PLACED ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE TO OBSTRUCT YOUR VIEW.

You walk across the parking lot, 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 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, the carjacker appears out of nowhere, jumps into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

So be sure to check before getting in. If there isn’t a paper there, you will know what’s going on. This is a good scheme to pull on ladies because most will leave their purse in the car providing the carjacker with the home address, money, credit cards, house keys, etc

So, if you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later and be thankful that you got this warning. I hope you will share this with all your friends and family. Being aware is half the battle!
