Warning from the Winnipeg Police
On a Friday night some people parked in a public parking lot. As they drove away they noticed a sticker on the rear window of their car. When they took it off after they got home it was a receipt for gas. Luckily their friend had told them earlier not to stop as it could be someone waiting for them to get out of the car.
This warning was recently aired by the Winnipeg City Police on a CJOB Talk Show.
WARNING FROM CITY POLICE .... BEWARE OF A PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE .... IT'S A NEW WAY OF CARJACKING. (NOT A JOKE)
Heads up everyone .... Husbands, wives, kids, everyone!!! Please, keep this circulating .... 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 rear view 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 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 that the carjacker/s have 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 lock your doors and just drive away. Remove the paper later and be
thankful that you read this.
I hope you will forward it 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.
