Wouldn't usually post stuff like this, but just in case...

I received this email from a mate;

BEWARE OF PAPER IN THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE

NEW WAY TO DO CAR JACKINGS

(NOT A JOKE)

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, that is when the car jacker's 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.

Agreed... But that would require common sense, something that the majority of our populace is missing (or choose to ignore)

... or find piece of paper on your window. Drive off a bit anyway. See who comes out of hiding, then reverse and run the f**ker over! :wave:

i would agree not everyone would see it .

alot of people come hard on from the side, only a small amount come from behind and thats when they forgot where they parked

TJ, is this really the place to describe your bedroom antics!

Damnit dude! Why'd you have to go tell everyone?! All I ever wanted was 16 Stageas in my driveway (don't ask me why), and now what chance do I have?! Sheesh: some people......

In all seriousness, it's not a bad scam: I don't think most people would notice it on the way back to their car, and most would probably assume it was a worthless piece of advertising if they saw it once they were in the car. The Police beat at my local shopping centre used to leave a slip under the front window wipers either congratulating you on having locked your car when they checked, or chastising you for leaving it unlocked ( I believe they actually tried to lock unsecured cars, if they could)...

    • Thanks Murray I really appreciate the help.
    • Do I think this is worth fixing properly? Nope. I'd use this project car to practice skills you want to learn. Once you're happy with your new skill set, I'd move the car on to the next owner.  However if you think it is worth fixing, there is only one scenario I can think of that it makes sense.... I don't know this platform so I can only guess, lets assume the roof attaches like this -  Where the red lines are, that is the frame/body of the car. When the car was manufactured, we'll assume they spot welded it to those points on the body.  If this is the case, you could drill out the spot welds, then weld on a replacement roof. It is reasonable to assume that with enough practice, you could spot weld the roof back on.  If the roof doesn't attach like this, say its all one piece... your back to the original plan of a cut and paste job. I wouldn't attempt it.  Only you can answer that one. We already know what the previous owner thought lol. You'll have to decide how important it is to you. 
    • Maybe I'm just making a bigger deal of this than it is.
    • Ok.  Ok...  Last question... Do you think it's worth fixing this again properly at a later date if I work on my welding skills? Maybe the entire roof? Or is that just nuts for anybody?
