Posted By TBC Have you heard of this? Please be aware of a new hi-jacking scheme Here's what they do: You return to your car left in a car park, unlock your car and get inside, start the engine and shift into REVERSE and 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 either switch off the car or leave the engine running 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 the car that is when the hi-jackers appear out of no where, jump into your car and take off! The door was unlocked, your keys were in the ignition, maybe the engine was running, (ladies would have probably left their handbag, with their purse, mobile phone etc; in the car) and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED!!! Should this happen to you, just drive away and remove the piece of paper that is stuck to your window later....and be thankful that you read this info. If you think it appropriate, forward this to all your friends and family...especially women! For the ladies a purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want anyone getting your home address. They already have your keys and transport to get there in a car the neighbours wouldn't take notice of (they've seen it before)

Posted By Nick House you just about beat me to that!

Posted By Helen Horton This is a varient of one that has been used in Brum - not an unban legend on this occasion as it happened to my neighbours. You are sat at traffic lights when the guy behind gets out of his car comes over to you and tells you that your boot is open and something is poking out. You get out to check your boot and his passenger jumps into your car and drives off. Another neighbour had his car stolen off his drive while he opened his garage doors. So the moral is, if you get of of your car switch off the engine and take the keys with you.
