Just last weekend on Friday night we parked
in a public parking area.
As we drove away I noticed a lipstick mark
in the shape of a woman's lips on the front window of the
car. We thought it was a joke and just laughed at it.
When I tried to wash it off, the marks didn't come easily
as it was waterproof.
Luckily my friends told me to get back into the car as it
could be someone waiting for me to get out of the car.
The very next day, I parked my car at the same parking area
and when we returned after our shopping, my car was missing.
I had to make a police report the stolen car and forward an
insurance claim .
Then we received this email yesterday:
WARNING FROM POLICE
THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN
BEWARE OF LIPSTICK PRINTS ON THE FRONT OR
BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE-- NEW WAY TO
DO CAR JACKING (NOT A JOKE)'
Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating.....
You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get
inside.
When you get into your car, you notice a lipstick mark on
the front or back windscreen. Many drivers do not take this
seriously and end up just wiping those lipstick stains off.
This is a new syndicate making their rounds in Malaysia .
This lipstick stain is a marking for the syndicate members
to identify which car to be stolen or car jacked. This new
method has been discovered already in Penang , Malacca,
KL and JB.
Be careful if you see the lipstick mark on your windscreen.
This means your car has already been marked and could be
stolen from under your very eyes , even in the car park.
You are advised not to leave your parking ticket in the car
in any carpark and if you discover that your car had already
been marked by the lipstick stain, please be advised to
install a reputable alarm system in your car to deter the
thieves.
BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING
USED...
If you see a lipstick stain on your window, don't just
ignore it.
