Be aware of a new car-jacking scheme...

You return to your car left in a car park, unlock your car and get inside, start the engine and shift into reverse. When you look into the rear view mirror to back out of your parking space, you spot a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window.

Switch off the car (with the keys in the ignition) or leave the engine running 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 the car...

The car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. It's a really simple steal: the door's unlocked, keys in the ignition, maybe with the engine still running.

Pretty clever though, you'll have to admit.
