Really doesn't matter if accurate or not, it's good information. Mike

I sent this out and BearK said that she fact checked it and it came back false. I don't remember who she fact checked it with. I just checked and she fact checked it with snopes so for wh**ever that is worth they said it was false.

That makes it easier for the bad guy to get away, bad idea as usual. Mike

This is another good reason to always back into a parking place when possible plus it is always safer to drive out of the space than back out.

Bad month to finish off a bad year. Had congestive heart failure robbing me of breath in early December followed by Sciatica for the first time in my life and then a nice bout of Bronchitis degenerating into Pneumonia, to round out the year with a combination of all three. The last ailment put me back in the hospital for the fourth time that year, between Christmas and New Year. So many problems I didn't know which to get treated first and it isn't over yet.

Thanks to all for your good wishes and prayers. I am still not recovered but I am much better. It seems the older you get the more difficult it is to recover from these ailments.

Warning from Police:



This is the new thing these days with people who don't want to work but still need cash, especially during the Holiday Season! Beware, it's headed our way.



Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!! Warning.!!!!




Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas. Luckily my friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car...

Then we received this email yesterday:


WARNING FROM POLICE:
THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN...
BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE – NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (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 wh**ever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers 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 carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now c*********d!



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 it to fall into the wrong hands.



Please keep this going and pass it on to your friends.

Someone said that this came back false from Snopes. If that's true, it won't be false for long. It's a pretty clever idea I think. Thanks for the info.
In fact, false or not, it pays to be careful when there is ANYTHING unusual placed on your car. It's either an ad or a gimmick to get to you or your car.

Amen and Amen snopes is also not the most reliable service for checking things out.
