Please be Careful

I thought this was important enough, to post it here . Please read:


FROM FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL., ORLANDO, FLORIDA

You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift into REVERSE, and you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space and

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 car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off! Your engine was running, (ladies would have their purse in the car) and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.

BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.

Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to your window later, and be thankful that you read this email.

I hope you will forward this to friends and family...especially to women! A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home address. They already HAVE your keys!

PLEASE BE CAREFUL - Each and every one of you, are important to the rest of us.

They they steal your kidneys?

Oh look, it's an urban legend that's been passed around on the internet for the better part of a year, with different city names attached to make it seem relevant!

Word of advice to all: If you got it in an email... don't post it here unless it links directly to some form of news post.

This will cut down a great deal on the number of silly chain mail threads we get.

All hail Snopes!

Thank you so much for this info. Now I know what to look out for when I'm in Florida.

Why do people even bother circulating that stuff through email?
To scare old ladies or what?

You should also be careful of a really nasty computer virus that's been going around lately.

Well, I just learned a new way to steal cars.

Except that... you know... it's fake...

What you didn't expect is that right after getting your car jacked...Bill Gates pops out with a hidden camera crew, tells you it was all a joke...then gives you $20,000 for helping to beta-test his new email tracking software....oh, and Ipods.....somehow you get free Ipods.

dammit .... now i've got to find a new way to meet people.

thanks for ruining it for me.

Also please on the lookout for HIV+ needles stuck into movie seat cushions, gangbangers driving around without headlights, spiders in pointsettias and cats dried in microwaves.
Thank you.

Yeah, something as sensationally-written (complete with WORDS in ALL CAPS!) is going to be an official release from the Highway Patrol.

Florida's fake? SHIT! I KNEW IT! No self-respecting state would be shaped like a giant wang!

Shouldn't there be something in the FAQ about not posting chain letters on SG Boards? No offense to the original poster (who's acting out of the goodness of his heart, after all)... it's just that these sort of chain letters have usually either been proved wrong or read a dozen times before they get posted here.

Seriously.....Delaware is just really sneaky.

Here in scary Orlando, I'm usually too drunk to notice something stuck to the back of my car window when I fall into my car.

And I totally knew this dude who was drinking with this woman, and she took him back to her hotel, and he totally woke up in a tub full of ice with a note that said "You should call 9/11."

Dude. Swear to God.

DUDE! SHHHHHH! SHHHH! Ixnay on the amscay!

...

aw, well, fuck.

There goes my Florida vacation funding.

AND I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT, IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU MEDDLING CHAIN E-MAILERS!

Have people forgotton the Boulder Pledge?

Why's it called the Boulder Pledge?

WELCOME TO A 2003 SCAM.
