SAFETY BULLETIN!!!!!
NEW CARJACKING SCHEME....
Imagine: You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into REVERSE. You look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space and 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!!
Your engine was running, your purse is in the car and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.
BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.
Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later, and be thankful that you read this. Please pass it along.
I need to know these things now since we bought another new car (traded the last new car for a new rocket ship, same model car, rocket engine. Think "we're" having a midlife thingy exacerbated by Mr. B's love of cars.) Mr. B prefers me to park as far away from the other cars as possible.
Parking all by my lonesome may have a benefit, at least the car jacker won't have other cars to hide behind. :-)
Wow, thanks for the info. I've sent it on to everyone on my emailing list.
