Car Tips from my sister.

NickD on Wed August 02, 2006 9:43 AM User is offline

Yeah, she sends me car tips.

"You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car, and get inside. Then you start the engine and shift into REVERSE, and you look into the rearview 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 into PARK, 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 carjackers 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 in your car. And guess what ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car...
BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.
Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window
later, 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 of
your identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home address. They already HAVE your keys!"


"Next time you come home for the night and you to put your keys away, think of this:

It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation.

Start keeping your car keys next to your bed on the night stand when you go to bed at night.

If you think someone is trying to get into your house, or if you hear a noise outside your house, just press the panic alarm on your car key chain. Test it' It will go off from most everywhere Inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage.

If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the burglar or rapist won't stick around.....after a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that."

In either situation above, in my case, they would run into a German Shepherd and in Tim's case, a 45.

Not so sure about the car alarm trick, those things are constantly going off on their own, practically everyone ignores them.

Ha, and the culprits would die of old age before they would find anything in my wife's purse, I can't even find my 36" pipe wrench in there, but know it's in there someplace.

In my case a S&W 44Mag 7" barrel "Dad left me" with 300 grain shells "hollow point" can't find the 300 grain hollow point at the gun shop so I have a guy load them that way for me, I shot a few at my sisters country home into a piece of 3/4" sheetrock "WOW" I sure hope and Pray I never have to shoot anyone in my home what a mess that would leave, probably be able to just flush the remains down the toilet.

I am not sure if that first trick would work here in California. I have yet to see a woman actually look behind her when backing out of a parking space........

This "storey" has been widely circulated by email here as well. However, a police minister went on record as saying that they have not received on report of this actually happening.

Isn't that what sisters are for? To pass along all this e-mail floating around? Not sure why I posted this, normally just put it in the trash can. Should have done the same with that microwave plastic stuff.

hey Nick, every once in a while it's good to "shake peoples cages" about the animals out there. you did a good thing..I've read that e-mail, an similar ones before, and sadly, they are not often far from the truth. If it just makes your sisters, your daughters, your wives a little more aware from time to time, they won't be the victim.. I too like Mrbill's approach though....
