This is a email I received from my Uncle.

BEWARE OF PAPER
IN THE BACK
WINDOW
OF YOUR VEHICLE

NEW WAY TO DO CAR JACKING
(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 stu ck 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 car jackers
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 car
jacker has your car, your home address, your mo ney, 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 thi s
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.

Thank you.

Scary. Thanks for passing that along.

I always check these types of things with snopes, and I remembered this one being passed around awhile back. While it's plausible, snopes confirms it as false.

While it is plauasable, and snopes confirms it as faulse, some nut will see it on the net, give it a try & make it true...

has anyone seen a commercial on tv recently...it was a car commercial, i forget which one and half of what the commercial was about, BUT...at the end of the commercial there was a woman walking toward her car with her keys out and some little sensor on the keys and it was a "heartbeat sensor" and it went off and she turned and ran away....

i only saw the commercial once, but am i correct that her really great car warned her that there was someone hiding in or behind the car??? would this be a necessary car accessory or is it a novelty like the bud vase in beetles....
