to the men on the forum, pass this on to your wife.. I know myself this wouldn't happen to me because I wouldn't get back out to remove the paper.. I'd drive like I stole it to try and get the paper to blow off before I got home...

Imagine:
You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into REVERSE.

Habit!

You look into the rear-view window to back out of your parking space and you notice a piece of paper, some sort of advertisement stuck to your rear window.

So, you shift! into PARK, unlock your doors and jump out of your vehicle 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 jump out of no where ... jump into your car and take off -- your engine was running, your purse is in the car, and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME
Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later

thanks for posting that info, hog.

but why tell women and not men?

because criminals aren't equal opportunists.

in carjackings women are often targetted because they are perceived to be lighter in weight (to forcefully remove), not as strong and not as fight-ready.

and while you tell her, get her a can of OC spray (pepper spray) too. i wish every woman and most men in this country carried this everywhere. AND WERE TRAINED IN HOW TO USE IT.

Cav. I wish every woman and most men carried their own personal fire power.. myself I prefer the the SR Redhawk 44 Mag bulky but gets the job done quick but not quiet... LOL....

if that be the case then I would not have to post action items like this.. there wouldn't be the need.. no car jackers if everyone was packing...

you should have warned me about the people hiding in the bushes in vegas that took my car at gunpoint. packing would not have helped me at that point.

install lojack or some other tracing device and let the car go. the police located my car in less then 30 minutes and flooded the area. the bastards that stole my car parked it and left immediately with nothing but their fingerprints on the car for future use.

My soon to be ex is 5' 8", 160, and not much fat on her. She's built like a frickin linebacker (Sweedish). They'd be making a mistake if they messed with her... That's why my son is 1 year old and comes up to my hip joint! He's going to be a monster, and he didn't get it from me.

well, there's something to be said for a culture in which you never know if someone's armed or not. wasn't there some town that had some ungodly high number of people with carrying permits, and the crime rate dropped through the basement?

maybe that was a dream. so hard to tell these days. heh.

my favorite psycho right-wing conservative sociology prof in college got a lot of flack for it, but he had a target practice poster up in his office. above it were the words: NO ONE EVER RAPED A .38!

i know that there are crimes that are going to happen whether you have a gun or OC or what -- criminals have the element of surprise to their advantage for one thing -- but even so, i sure do miss having my little metal sidekick with me all the time! :(
