Re: Email received: NEW WAY TO DO CAR JACKING (NOT A JOKE)
Figured it was, but thought i would post just incase.
I showed my dh and he said "wouldnt you see the paper as you were walking towards your car?".. If its large enough to block your view, i think you would, but who knows.
Thanks!

But that could be dangerous, too, if it's blocking your view of the road behind you. I would never back out of a parking spot if I couldn't see behind me. What if a person was in the spot where the paper was blocking?

Ok, how big of a piece of paper are you talking about?

That would depend on the size of the paper and if it was really blocking my view I would remove it, but locking the doors if my boys were in the car.
