I dont know If it has already been posted here but a work colleague emailed it to me and I thought of sharing it with you-

This is from a Manchester Police Officer - Beware of a new
car-jacking scam !
Imagine you walk across the car park, unlock your car and get
inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into reverse.
You look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space and
you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.
So, you unlock your doors and jump out of your car to remove the
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. Your engine would be running (Ladies would
have their handbag in the car) and they practically mow you down as
they speed off in your car. Please be aware of this scheme that is now being used
Just drive away and remove the paper from your window later and be
thankful you read this notice.
Please inform all friends and family, especially women. A handbag contains all identification and you certainly do not want someone knowing
your home address, as they already have your keys!!!
Take care
