I found this on Ozlib

[/quote]to all car owners please read this it may save your pride and joy.
found it on gt rydaz. . . . . . . .


WARNING FROM THE NRMA - PLEASE PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW

You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. Then youlock all your doors, start the engine and shift into REVERSE, and you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space and younotice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.
So, you shift the gear stick back 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 car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off!!

Your engine was running, you would have left your purse 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 IN SYDNEY AND COULD SPREAD ACROSS AUSTRALIA

Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later, and be thankful that you read this email.

I hope you will forward this to friends and family. A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home address. Especially when they already HAVE your HOUSE KEYS!!!

Nice one Rosso, good information. Those bastards will do anything sometimes, and they have all day and the patience as well.

There is one flaw to that. I reverse park a good 95% of the time when i drive. The other 5% parallel parks and in most cases I have enough room (hopefully) to just drive off without looking at the back!

I'd even be suspicious if someone was tailgating near me to bump my car to make me come out and then jack it. Especially if it's on a very quiet peace of road etc :]

Hi, Rosso and all.

You might be interested to read this website, where they claim that this isn't true.

I'm with Stuntgirl. It used to be an email going around about 3 years ago. Has anyone had it done or heard of it being done to anyone?

Surely if it's been done someone would have heard of it......
