Warning from Police ---- No Joke!!!

Warning..!!!!                Warning..!!!!                Warning..!!!!
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 gas. 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

THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN

BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--
NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'

Heads up 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 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 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 keep this going and tell all your friends

this is simply just evidence of economic opportunities.  as legal ones are regulated away, other ones pop up.

gonna get worse i'm afraid.

interesting to see when people no longer have faith in the police and government.

probably be rationalized we need to take away freedoms to help us.

oops, franklin and jefferson already warned us of that.

no matter, we've already ignored it and are on a fast march to somewhere.

Snopes says this is a false alarm.  Check out their analysis here:  http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/carjack.asp

even if it's fake, i still stand by my response.

Didn't know if it was true or false. But it still give you something to think about in the back of your mind.

False or not, it always pays to be aware, especially in unfamiliar surroundings. 

i received this email today....
again, not sure if its true or not, but something to think about...

NEW RAPE SCAM!!!!PLEASE READ!!!!!
Please pass on to all your girlfriends, wives, etc. Just to be on the safe side. Please be aware and
pass it on to anyone you think this will help.

Sunday afternoon around 5 PM I headed into the Target in  Philadelphia,  Pa. where crime is VERY RARE and
mostly it is with bikes being stolen!!

It was still light outside and I parked fairly close to the entrance. As I got out of my car and began
walking towards Target, an older lady shouted to me from the passenger seat of a car about 30 feet away
from me.

"Ma'am you must help me, help me please, help me Ma'am!" I looked at her in the eyes and started to
walk towards her when all of a sudden I remembered an email my Mom had sent me a week or two ago about
rapists and abductions using elder people to lure women in.

I paused, memorized the license plate and immediately headed into Target to get a20manager to
come help this lady, just in case something was up. While the woman manager headed out there, I
kept a close watch just because I was curious what was wrong with the lady and wanted to be sure
nothing happened.

As the Target lady walked up towards the car and got very close to the old woman in order to help her,
the back door of the car flies open and a large man with a stocking cap on, jumps out and sticks a gun
to the lady's stomach as he shoves her into the back of the car.

I yelled out "call 911" several times and just as I was saying that, a policeman who happened to be on
the other side of the parking lot! And who, luckily had seen the entire thing happen, raced over to the
car.

He was able to stop the car and arrest the male as well as the old lady, who was involved in the
scheme. By God's grace everyone was all right, including myself, although I think we were both
shaken up.

Like many of you, I would not in a million years have left an elderly person who was yelling for help
if it weren't for the e-mail I had read last week. So, I wanted to pass this along so you all can be
aware and remember that you really can't trust anyone these days.

You just never know when something like this could happen. I would have never dreamed it to happen to
me especially on a Sunday afternoon at a Target in a safe area!

It definitely was not a coincidence that my Mom sent that email just a few days before this all happened.
Please, be careful and always be aware of your surroundings.

Just because you individually don't go over to help someone doesn't mean you have to leave them in
trouble , but don't go ALONE, you really don't know what might be going on.

This was checked with Snopes.com - this is true - and they also use children to lure the victim!!
