carjack method

[AfterBurner]

From Lieutenant Tony Bartolome C. P. D.

>You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. Then

>you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into REVERSE, and

>you look into the rearview 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

>car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off!

>Your engine was running, (ladies would have their purse in the car)

>and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

>BE AWARE OF THIS NEW 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 email. I hope you will

>forward this to friends and family... especially to women! A purse

>contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone

>getting your home address. They already HAVE your keys!

>Detective M. Bledsoe

>Montgomery County Sheriff's Office

>One Criminal Justice Dr.

>Conroe, Texas 77301

i guess you need to use the rear view mirror for this to work then eh? [after driving a cubevan and with a trailer behind a pickuptruck, the rearview doesn't show anything, so it doesn't get used too often]



but good advice non the less.
