Carjack Warning!
Don't know how true or pertinent this is, but I thought I'd pass it on anyway!
"All the girls at our office have received this e-mail today, pass it
onto any women you know > ...> ..scary

> A friend stopped at a pay-at-the-pump petrol station to get fuel.
> Once she filled her petrol tank and after paying at the pump and
starting to leave, the voice of the attendant inside came over the speaker.
He told her that something happened with her card and that she needed
to come inside to pay.
>
> The lady was confused because the transaction showed complete and
approved. She relayed that to him and was getting ready to leave but the
attendant, once again, urged her to come in to pay or there'd be
trouble. She proceeded to go inside and started arguing with the attendant
about his threat. He told her to calm down and listen carefully: He
said that while she was filling her car, a guy slipped into the back seat
of her car on the other side and the attendant had already called the
police. She became frightened and looked out in time to see her car door
open and the guy slip out. The report is that the new gang initiation
thing is to bring back a woman and/or her car. One way they are doing
this is crawling under girls / women's cars while they're filling with
petrol or at stores at night-time. The other way is slipping into
unattended cars and kidnapping the women. Please pass this on to other women,
young and old alike. Be extra careful going to and from your car at
night. If at all possible, don't go alone! This is real!!, This alert has
originated from a London company who had the woman involved in the
above instance.

check in the back before getting in.

your general vicinity, particularly at night!

Be CAREFUL out there, folks..... it really is a bad, BAD world!!
