Thieves have a new way to steal from you now!

I am posting this,  I think it is worth knowing.
"Wednesday, I approached my truck from the passenger  side to place my computer bag in the front passenger seat. As I reached to open the door I noticed there was a  hole right under my door handle.
My first thought was, "someone has shot my truck !"

I began to think about it and inspect it a little closer and the light" slowly began to come on.

I phoned my friend who owns a body shop and asked if he had any vehicles with damage to the doors that looked like a bullet hole.

"Yes, I see it all the time. Thieves have a punch and  place it right under the door handle, knock a hole through, reach in and unlock  it, just as if they have a key. "

No alarms, broken glass or anything.

I then placed a call to my insurance agent and explained it to him I was puzzled that they left my GPS  and all other belongings.

Here is where it gets scary !

"Oh no, he said, they want the break-in to be so  subtle that you don't even realize it. They look at your GPS to see where "home" is. Now they know what you drive, go to your home, and if your vehicle isn't there they
assume you aren't and break in your home."

He says they will even leave a purse or wallet and only take one or two credit cards.

By the time you realize there has been a theft, they  may have already had a couple days or more to use them.

I didn't realize my situation for two full days! They even give you the courtesy of re-locking your doors for you.

Periodically walk around your car, daily if you are in a shopping center or other parking area.

Report thefts immediately....your bank w/missing check  numbers, your credit card agencies, police, and insurance companies, etc.

Better SAFE than SORRY

WARNING - THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN

BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE
-- NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (This is NOT one of my jokes)

Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating... You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse.

When you look into the rear view mirror to back out of your parking space, 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 carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down 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, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this in DOOLEY OBSERVED.

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...
