New age carjacking!

Be careful because there are carjacking out that are placing a flyer/paper on the back window of people cars at parking lots.

Unspected drivers would pull out their parking space and realize the paper/flyer then get out of their car to remove it before they continue on with their journey. This is exactly want the carjackers want you to do. Once they get out and leave your car door open with the engine on the carjackers would come out from hiding and drive off with your car.

The only good thing is that nobody gets hurt but who wants to be carjack? So watch out because this already happen to one of my friends in South Carolina. The responding police officer advised her a few other people have been getting carjack the same way.

Ya, this sounds like an urban legend.

If you would like me to exit my car a gun would be much more effective than a flyer.

EDIT
Just noticed the Snopes link, guess I was right.
