New, non-violent way to carjack
Be aware of a new car-jacking scheme.
Imagine: you walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all of your doors, 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 car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off!
Your engine was running, (ladies would have left their purse in the car) and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.
[I don't care if this is just an urban myth or no, it sounds plausible to me]
