Default New anti-car-jacking tips from CHP

Please distribute to all employees/stations.
Message from the C.H.P.

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 an object (or paper) stuck to the middle of the rear window.
You shift to PARK, unlock your doors, get out of the car and walk to the rear to remove 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!

Lieutenant Tony Bartolome,
Bureau of Investigations

What happened to the good old days when they just used a gun? Now they have to go ahead and waste trees? What a shame.

I look forward to a day when the criminal element in society considers the environmental ramifications of their actions. If they used rail guns instead of normal guns they'd also reduce air pollution.
