This is how carhijackers do it..

BEWARE girls (and boys too, it happened to guys too). Malaysian police are now warning citizens about this new scheme of car-hijacking that has been happening in Malaysia many times now.

OK here's the basic story on how it can happen :

You walk across the parking lot towards your car. Then you unlock your car and get inside. And you start your engine and put your gear to reverse. When you look to the back of your car, or look into the rear view mirror, you'll notice a paper stuck on the rear window of your car. It could be anything..just a paper or an advertisement or something else. But what's for sure, it's blocking you view. So you'll shift the gear back into neutral or park, unlock the doors and get out of the car to remove the piece of paper. When you reach the back of your car, that's when the hijacker will jump into your car and drive off. They might even run you down as they speed off with your car.

And as for ladies, wouldn't your purse still be in the car. Now the hijacker have your house keys, home address, money. So much worse can happen next. And even worse for mothers with child on board..I just couldn't imagine the outcome.

So this is a reminder to everyone.

DO NOT GET DOWN FROM YOUR VEHICLE IF YOU SEE ANYTHING ON YOUR WINDOW-SHIELD

Take it off when you finally reached home.

You can also install an alarm system that will stall your car and set off the alarm if the right combination of code isn't inserted correctly.
