An Important Message
from the CHP
Here's
the scenario: You walk across the parking lot, unlock your
car and get inside. You lock your doors, start the engine
and shift into reverse. You look into the rearview mirror
to back out of your parking space and notice a piece of
paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.
You shift into PARK, unlock your doors, get out of the car
and walk to the rear to remove the paper (or whatever it
is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back
of your car, car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into
your car and take off!
Your engine was running and they practically mow you down
as they speed off.
Guess what ladies and gents? I'll bet your purse and/or
other valuables were still in the car!
THIS IS A NEW CAR-JACK SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED...VERY
SUCCESSFULLY.
What to do: Just drive away and remove the object that's
stuck to your window - later.
Be thankful that you read this email. It would be a good
idea to forward this warning to friends and family; especially
to women! Their purses contain all of their identification,
and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home
address, because - guess what – they already HAVE
your keys!
Take care everyone,
Lieutenant Tony Bartolome
