New Hi-jacking Technique In Sydney

[Alien]

Friend sent this to me... I don't know how legit this is, but it sure is good to know something like this....

WARNING from NRMA and Police

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, 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 the gear stick back into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out off 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, you would have left your 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 IN SYDNEY AND COULD SPREAD ACROSS AUSTRALIA

Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later, and be thankful that you read this email.

Hope you will forward this to friends and family. A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting

your home address. Especially when they already HAVE your HOUSE KEYS!!!

im pretty sure you'd notice a piece of paper on your car before you get in it anyway.

[Alien]

hmmm regardless its a good point to watch out for... if u see something sus, grab it before turning the car on

then again they can just smash u and steal the keys

[Alien]

hey wink i like that site dammm its got some cool points on many topics

Having a gtr spoiler set @ maximum downforce on my 33 pretty much blocks my rear view anyhow, piece of paper doesnt bother me, esp with 5% rear window tint, doesnt really affect my view as the spoiler and tint does a better job... hehe

[R3LOAD]

Same goes for me. My spoiler does a fine job of obstructing my rear view.

another reason why i keep my car keys seperate to all my other keys

[scathing]

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I pretty much always walk around my car before I hop in.

I'm mostly looking for scratches and dents, but I'm sure I'd pick up a piece of paper on the rear window.

in my car, once started, doors are closed and seatbelt is on my alarm activates the anti-hijack. As soon as i open any doors and take my seatbelt off the car starts to cut out after 2 mins. The only bad thing about it is that when i get home i cant get out and let the turbo timer do the job for me.

mann i got that in a spam once, nsw section sucks

[br3tt]

1st of all..

I got this email a few years ago, before I even had a car.

lol @ using real life things as spam mail.

good point whoever said u would probably see it before u got in.. but anything is possible.. if someone wants ur car they're gonna try their hardest to get it.

Same here, keep them separate and keep all my ID on me at all times.

Sounds like another one of those "urban legends"

Screw that, I'll take two! And if she has a sister, it'll be two of each, thanks!

[GRKGTR]

ahahah shes not even real ... he pasted her on there as you would notice if she was to stand up she would be VERY tall like 2.5metres or something lol.

Sorry for getting all your high hopes back down.
