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!!
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!
JUST BE AWARE AND TAKE CARE IT WILL PROBABLY SOON ARRIVE IN YOUR AREA

I don’t think they left any paper on her rear windscreen…
but back to being serious, there was a long thread about a pair of toads trying to ‘persuade’ Blade off her bike a month or two back. Very scary so we all need to keep our wits about us.
Very true…of course i was actually ON my bike at the time, in main street…when one stepped out in front of bike frightening life out of me cos thought i would hit him, waving his arms about…when i was concentrating on getting bike in neutral and finding out what the hell was going on, i didnt see one come behind bike and start rocking it, thought car behind had “bumped” me…i was SO lucky two bikers came along…they saved my day, cos police would have turned up too late HAD they got away with that bike jacking! Fact is, i havent been on my bike much since then? And im not sure about riding alone at night in places i dont know let alone places i do!
Even lock doors when im in the car !!! (god im turning into a limp biscuit!)
