Description
This is another shot from Galveston, but a fresh one... been over there last weekend!
Today no joking... I got a warning from a friend that lives in Germany, and I decided to share it with you... maybe some of you know already about this:
"Last week a friend of mine parked in a public parking lot. When he left the parking (driving his car, of course), he noticed there was a piece of paper on the rear window. When he picked it up (when he got home) he saw just a fuel receipt. Fortunately for him, one of his friends told him that he did the right thing not stopping right there on the parking lot, because someone was waiting for him to get out from the car.
This technique applies to both women and men. Watch for the papers stuck on your car's rear window, that's a new way to stealing a car (not joking!)
It's simple.
You go into a parking lot, you get in, start the engine and put in reverse while looking through the mirror to move your car, then you notice there's a paper stuck in the middle of the rear window. You stop, get out from your car to remove the paper (or whatever they put there) that blocks the view. When you get in the back of your car, the thief goes in your car, which unfortunately for you, has the engine runing, and leaves so fast, that practically you won't have time to react!
And ladies, guess what? I bet your purse is in the car. As well as your ID, money, credit cards, keys, etc. From that moment your home and your identity is compromised!
ATTENTION TO THIS NEW PROCEDURE.
If you see a paper stuck on the rear window, lock your doors, start the engine and go. You can remove the paper later!"
So, just be careful or you'll have the (unfortunate) chance to walk like the guy from my picture!

Nice looking photo Eddie, it really captures the mood. If someone tries the paper stunt on my window they'll more than likely get ran over ;)
My favorite thing, Solitude in the sand, in Texas, however I prefer the Sand of the West Texas Desert to the Oil-tar stained Sand of the Gulf Coast. Excellent shot Peace

Fabulous image and a strong message1! Isn't it sad that they come up with so many ways to do something wrong to others? They warned about something similar here at Christmas this year. Thank you for taking the time to post the warning and for sharing a very awesome work of solitude!
Great image and enigmatic as to the ways dishonest people are! One wonders why they are unable to find creative ways to earn an honest living!
