Warning! Be aware of new car-jacking scheme ..You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift or put into reverse. You look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space, and you notice apiece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.
Naturally, you shift the gear stick back into park or neutral, 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 takeoff!! 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.

Advice from the police us just to drive away and remove the paper later! It is stuck to your window, and be thankful that you read this article. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women! A purse contains all your identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home address. They already HAVE you keys!
