    it makes absolutely NO sense to have a hoax about a scam

    again, whether its a fake or not, better to be an informed driver...than a skeptic who ends up still being a victim.

    Still makes no sense. If I were a carjacker, I'd wait till the owner reaches the car and unlocks it, then approach them and remove the forcibly before they can get in, lock the car and drive away. It makes absolutely no sense to stick a piece of paper on the windshield that the owner may or may not pay attention to.

    This is an old... oooooold hoax. It's been posted here many times before. Bottom line is... when parking, make sure that you're in a place that is visible to the street or to passers-by, and when you get in the car, lock it and start it right away.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    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.

    ingat ingat na lang tayo mga peeps...
    Sir, saang place yung public parking na sinasabi mo?

    Just remove the paper before you go in your car. Of course, be alert.
