Someone just e-mailed this to me at work...its amazing what thieves will do to get there hands on a car......
ALL CAR OWNERS AND CAR DRIVERS PLEASE READ 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 a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.
So, 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 take off!! 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.
BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED IN GLASGOW AND MANCHESTER AND IS MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!
Just drive away and remove the paper later! It is stuck to your window and be thankful that you read this email. I hope you will forward this to friends and family especially to women! A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home address. They already HAVE your keys!!!
JUST BE AWARE AND TAKE CARE IT WILL PROBABLY SOON ARRIVE IN YOUR AREA

ya no i was just talking about the same thing yesterday to my other half.. we were in town & had parked in a muti storey car park..i hate the things.. if i go into town on my own, i get the bus.. not only do i not have the hassle of finding a parking space, i feel much safer..
I saw something similar happen once at Ikea in Gateshead, Newcastle. You cant bring the trolley to the car park, so you have to bring your car to the trolley bay. Guys reverses his car into trolley bay, gets out opens the boots, walks over to get his trolley, and someone jumped in his car and drove off. I also had a friend who had her car stolen from a petrol station, this was about 8 years ago, she went in to pay, leaving her keys in the car, and someone stole her car. I have NEVER left my keys in my car, or even left it unlocked whilst paying for petrol

No need to be sorry! It may be for some people, hence why I didn't mention I'd seen it before earlier...
It's advice that might help someone.
