Seems parking lots at the shopping centers are more and more becoming a place of choice for thieves to do their shopping. This one involves car jacking. Might want to discuss this with your SO. WARNING FROM POLICE: This is the new thing these days with people out of work and needing cash. Beware, it's headed our way. Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!! Warning..!!!! Just last weekend on Friday night we parked in a public parking area. As we drove away I noticed a sticker on the rear window of the car. When I took it off after I got home, it was a receipt for gas.. Luckily my friend told me not to stop as it could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car.. Then we received this email yesterday: THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE! A NEW WAY TO DO CAR JACKING'S - NOT A JOKE! 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 rearview 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 e-mail. 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 it to fall into the wrong hands.
Malls - "What's the deal?" "I'll tell you what the deal is- gay people in this area wear hats and we're trying to keep 'em out of our club." I was like, "Oh really? The only way we can tell down in Texas is if they have a haircut like...yours."
and guess what is in my back seat......................115 lbs of silent "Black Fur Whoop Arse" who loves nothing better that grabbing strangers by the back of the neck and pulling them into the back seat. Bring on the useless car jackers..............................
Ours maybe small but Cricket is a piranha when it comes to her car. Right now though they have to stay at home because of the heat. Thanks for the warning, savemoney
yep saw that on the news but what they were showing was the paper was under the wiper blade on the passenger side
geeze, this 'new' way is still floating around the internet? i think I got this 'new' alert back on AOL
It was new to me, so that is why I wanted to share it. Lots of stuff gets by me. Always a chance someone didn't see it and it may help prevent an incident.
LePage signs bill to allow concealed weapons in Maine without permits The bill's sponsor says, 'All this does is allow open carry gun owners to put a jacket on.' BY DENNIS HOEY STAFF WRITER A bill allowing state residents to carry concealed weapons without a permit was signed into law by Gov. Paul LePage on Wednesday, making Maine the seventh state without such a requirement. The measure eliminates the permit requirement for any state resident 21 years or older. “I often get asked the question that by passing this bill will Maine become the new Wild West? Vermont has had this bill for 200 years and they are west of us. This has not been a problem for Vermont,” said state Sen. Eric Brakey, R-Auburn, the principal sponsor of the bill. “You can open carry in Maine now. All this does is allow open carry gun owners to put a jacket on.” Maine State Police said in April that 36,000 concealed handgun permits, including 12,000 for non-residents, had been issued by the state. The total number of permits is likely much higher because they are also issued by local police and there is no centralized registry. The current system of permitting will remain in effect, but it will be optional for state residents. The law won’t take effect until 90 days after the Legislature adjourns for the session. A press release issued by the House Democratic office said there are several provisions in the bill that the public should be aware of. “There are a lot of questions around this measure,” said Rep. Lori Fowle, D-Vassalboro, House chair of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, in her party’s statement. The Democrats’ statement said the bill cannot go into effect until 90 days after the Legislature finally adjourns, which has yet to occur. The Legislature will return on July 16 to vote on whether to sustain vetoes by the governor on several bills. “Until then, gun owners and other Mainers must follow the current laws around concealed carry,” Fowle said. Fowle added that the public should know about two important provisions of the bill. The minimum age for permitless carry under the new law will be 21. Permits, and background checks, will still be required for anyone age 18 to 20. But military personnel age 18 to 20, either active duty or honorably discharged veterans, will be exempt. Also, anyone pulled over by a police officer is required to tell the officer if they have a concealed weapon. Eleven other states have adopted similar disclosure provisions. Brakey said the duty-to-inform provision was a late addition to the bill, and it may have to be revised later because of some ambiguities. For instance, the provision requires a driver to “immediately” inform an officer that they have a weapon in their vehicle. But some officers have questioned what immediate means, Brakey said. “That needs to be better defined,” Brakey said. “Getting stopped by an officer is a stressful situation to begin with and if someone forgets to mention they have a weapon and they were not asked if they did … that concerns me.” Brakey said the bill is a “great” piece of legislation that was supported by members of both parties. “This is an important day for the Pine Tree State,” Erich Pratt, a spokesman for Gun Owners of America, said in a press release issued Wednesday. “Law-abiding citizens shouldn’t have to ask permission to exercise a Constitutionally protected right. We don’t require permission for preachers or journalists, and we shouldn’t do it for gun owners either.” Gov. LePage signed the bill during an invitation only ceremony at the State House.
I don't own guns, my right, your right to own guns. I do think it is a safer place when thugs are not the only ones who carry weapons. Every one has the right to defend themselves and their families. States and communities have the right to deny this right to those who are known to be dangerous. There is no room for PC when it comes to guns.
