From Bankstown Police Station - not a Joke. - IMPORTANT

Warning..!!!!
Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public car park. 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 petrol. 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
car park, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine put it
into reverse.

When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your space, you
notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you
stop 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. They practically run
you over 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 compromised!

BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, lock your doors
and 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 this to fall into the wrong
hands.
Please tell all your friends

perhaps you picked the wrong forum and meant to put in the jokes thread?
this has been going around for years and years. each time with a different police station listed.

Now that it has been posted here and you all believe it is a hoax I can now get away with it

Anything that ends with "Please tell all your friends" is almost guaranteed to be a hoax, or just crap...

just like the hoax that when driving down in THE COUNTRY beware of a baby capsule with a pretend baby in it as everyone would stop and get out and have a look only to find someone driving away in your car..... if anyone is willing to steal my car good on them take it off my hands

Times like these I wish I still lived in America....when they do that you pull ya Glock and blow their head off.

I have had this one doing the circuit plenty of times, and just delete it. Even ones doing the circuit that has an attachment, I just delete. By opening the attachment you have no idear what you have started in motion. Even ones from friends, when it says to send back to me???????????????? SUSPECT
