Be Careful!

If you're a car owner read below.....

Notice on car (not a joke)

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 THE GARDAI BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--NEW WAY TO DO CAR JACKINGS

.. 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 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 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 bag 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 IN DUBLIN
If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away.
Remove it later.
