Just got an email and thought it was intresting and would like to pass it on: 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 stuck 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 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 e-mail. I hope you will forward this 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. Lieutenant Tony Bartolome Bureau of InvestigationsFlorida Highway Patrol P.O. Box 593527 Orlando , FL 32859 |
www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/carjack.asp Snopes much? Here is an ARFCOM tip, if you get it in an email, either check Snopes before posting or just skip it because it most likely has already been posted. |

Oh, and look under the handles at gas stations in Florida, they might have AIDS infected needles. Oh, dont forget to not flash your lights at cars that do not have their lights on, THEY ARE GANG MEMBERS AND THEY WILL KILL YOU. Also, the ball pits at Mcdonalds have snakes that will eat your children. Have a nice day |
| Another anti-carjacking tip is to leave yourself an out in traffic. If someone's trying to force their way into your vehicle, the curb or the carjacker should not be considered obstacles-run right the fuck over them. The pistol on your hip or in your console doesn't have a FRACTION of the "knockdown power" that your 1200 lb car does. |
What about BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, PING!!! What you don't keep a M1 Garand in your car?

My gun has quite a bit more get up and go than my car does though.
|
What car weighs 1200lbs? Mine is 2.5+ tons. |
My wife's Aveo is about 1200 or so lbs. My Jeep is about twice that...The point remains that a ton of steel at 15 MPH will do more damage than 230 grains at 950 FPS... |

I know what he was saying.... Oh yeah- Aveo Curb Weight 2381lbs.s - |
