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 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 park, 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 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.



I thought this message was worthy of a viewing on the forum, it dropped into my emails earlier today.

Well done Steve - I'll tell my wife to look out for this scam - even if it has never happened before, she is surely going to be the first to fall foul of it.


In fact now you have advertised this great carjacking idea, I'm sure it won't be long before you can say - "hey I told you so".

Yeah I heard of another version of this, it's called the "Simian jack scam"

The "jackers" stick a 650lb gorilla on your rear window, (it plays dead so as not to give it's self away)

When you get in your car and shift into reverse you see the gorilla in your rear view mirror

Sh*t you say and go to get out to remove the darn thing.....

Now this is where the difference is in the "Jack"

The "sleeping" gorilla, all 650lb of him wakes up.......oh yeah and he's pis**d off

he rips you to pieces at this point limb by limb and sucks the eyes out of your skull

Then to top it all a trained baboon jumps into your car and drives round in circles doing "doughnuts" as the gorilla

searches the pockets of your clothes (you are by now a lifeless corpse)finding your cash and credit cards

Then your very drunk girlfriend just about comes to & looking at the baboon (she has a hand over one eye to focus) now in the driving seat and wearing your GT driving gloves ,yellow night shades and a red Ferrari base ball cap (free with 10lts of Texaco oil) says...

"Oh baby you look soooo hot....did you shave tonight.....you gorgeous manhunk.."

Her head slumps down into the baboons lap and .......(well you can guess the rest)

Put it this way , the baboon is grinning from ear to ear as he drives of with your car your cash & your chick

The gorilla who has previously stolen a pizza hut "ped" and makes good his escape on that.


BEWARE OF THIS SCAM



W**F

SteveT - sorry, I wasn't trying to tick you off, I was just more surprised you fell for it


Everything about the construction and wording of it reeks of urban myth. The road to hell is paved with good intentions etc etc. Wasn't Chicken Licken a parable?


Anyway now that more people know about snopes, here's hoping a few more urban myths get debunked

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
