  • Crime Alert: Paper on the back window of your car


    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 BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE -NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'. 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 toremove 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.

    Or, stop leaving the keys in the car when you get out. I never do that anyway.

        Aren't you supposed to check the windows before trying to drive off or maybe even before you get in?

            I could see this going to people using tape and other more obnoxious stuff than just paper.

                I never heard of it. It must be getting more popular.

                  Sounds more like an urban legend than anything else.

                    Nah. This tactic was used in LA back in 2000. It is beginning to spread. there is a nasty tactic being developed in Texas. i will get more information as i hear about it.

                        I think that if this was going on assholes would be using stuff like huge stickers with snarky comments on them.
