car thefts this is not a joke

[andywiddss1]

just copyed this from scooby forum i use :fcuk:

and to be honest most people would get out the car to see what was on the rear screen :oops:


Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public

parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the

rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home,

it was a receipt for petrol. Luckily my friend told me not to

stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the

car. Then we received this email yesterday:

'WARNING FROM POLICE

BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR
VEHICLE--NEW WAY TO

DO CAR JACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'

... You walk across the car parking , 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 neutral, 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 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. A purse contains all kinds of

personal information and identification documents, and you

certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
Please pass this on.

fucking hell!
they say that car theives are the dumbest people around with no intelligence, but they do have good ideas I'm sorry to say.

[Add91289]

herd of this before, good info doh

[matt_vtr_15]

this has been happening for atleast two years from what i am aware...

along with hooking keys visible from a letterbox at home etc....

[RichM]

Haven't heard this one before. Cheers for the heads up.

[muhuha]

de-wiper tbh, bastards though

[Adz]

Arghh i have herd about this before, you have to watch what you do everyday now days its wank, i always lock my car when im driving it on my own, but tend not to when im with all my mates,

Adz

[Fenton]

ive herd about people who take cars and then use the sat nav thats been left in the car at hit navigate home and drive to your house, brake in and then load car up and drive off with all your goods

[sted963]

not heard of this 1 cheers mate

[LeeM]

older than the internet, just another one of those stories that float around. not sure how much truth there is to it but the simple solution is not to leave your car wih the keys in the inition for any length of time but you'd think that would be common sense

[djflipsaxo]

never heard of this, thanks for the heads up.
people are so low these days to steal a car

[LDeere683]

surely you would notice a peice of paper stuck to your back window when you walk up back up to it?

[furiomike]

i cant see shit out the rear window of my car anyway.

[sted963]

i think its when youve just got in your car they run up and stick it on

[fossie]

Fucking thieving pikey, gypo bastards

[machevelli7777]

thanks man! Ill keep this in mind!

[gouldy87]

thats a clever one, i cant believe i didnt think of doing that





good work mr widdop

[andywiddss1]

no worries guys everyone thinks it will never happen to them ,lets hope it never does times are hard scum will use ever trick in the book

[K17NEY]

cheers for the heads up! but surely if ur parked somewhere that u have to reverse out of(facing a wall or barrier)then surely ud be walking towards the back of the car and see the sticker on the rear window...??

[xxpinkyxx1991]

yeah heard this before aswell..

[shooorn94]

As stated been around for a while now. Never heard of it actually being used but could happen. Anyone that leaves the keys in the ignition and walks off is a bit of a fool anywho. :err:

[adampinder]

I find that scary but i have never heard of it happening

[Mardgee]

from now on if i see a sticker on my back window al pop the multilock on before i get out just to watch them try and get out of neutral haha, all jokes aside ive heard something like this happen with cash points, put a sticker or some dust on your back then you get mugged round the corner.

[Olly]

someone did this to me by pulling the wiper up when i was stopped in traffic, Just drove on and put it back further down the road, chav tards!

[Mr_X]

just use your rear wiper. ;)

[J222JRA]

thankyou for posting this up mate, its always good to no this kind of stuff.

[NICK2506]

reeeeeeepost. very good information though. not sure how true it is.
although its now probably given carjackers an idea tbh.

[LeeM]

reeeeeeepost. very good information though. not sure how true it is. it may just give carjackers the idea tbh.

some wanabe gangster will be surfing the internet trying to find wikedybo 20's for his saxo and see this, then go out and try it

[Dark_Hero]

They'd try anything now!
The strangest one I ever read about was some people putting a push chair in the middle of the road with one of them dolls in it.
Anyone who got out of the car to check it out would soon have their car nicked

[JamesR]

Britain is definetly getting worse, its everdya now on this forum alone, and i dare say its the same on other forums. Is there some modified car hate group?

[saxokid100]

Haven't heard this one before...........

Yes. Barryboys.

[PSPDan]

Never heard of this before. Thanks for the heads up although I'm sure most of these scams etc. are just scaremongering.

[Macey2009]

fucking hell!

Yeah i thought id get atleast a few skylines home before i got caught lmao..

On a serious note though, i dont think its hit this part of england so i shall get the word out before it starts, thanks mate..

[JamesR]

Yes. Barryboys.

Forgot about them f*gots :homme:

[ben_glen]

hmm, their were some cones in the middle of a road the other night (1am), 3 so i had to get out, obvs from a building site near by so they weren't meant to be there.. i left my engine running, keys in etc and just got out and moved them, didnt really think anyone would be smart enough to do something like this lol...

thanks for the heads up

[hellonpluto]

[flynnsvtr]

I severely doubt that police would use the words "mow down" lol, good info never the less

[betty02]

I posted this up last year sometime, but i put it in the jokes section

99% of people will just put rear wiper on

[Bally]

Sneaky barstards. Tbh though 9 time out of 10 my rear window is so dirty i cant see anything out of it anyway lol. Cheers for the heads up though

[AndyZS]

It's an urban legend and NOT TRUE! It is like the one with the gang initiation where they drive with their lights off then have to kill the first person that flashes them, they are all hoaxes.

As a rule of thumb, any email that starts with "This is not a joke" or "This actually happened to a friend of mine" is clearly a joke and never happened to a friend of anyone!

[tinytitch]

Haven't heard this one before thank,whats this world coming to x

[Tontsy]

as clever as this shit is... it was a big problem in Plymouth about two years ago!
:n: some people are jsut utter cunts tbh!
