I was told that ETHER is not that good at knocking people out anyway... that sniffing a card with it on in the open air would do nothing....people do sell the cheap stuff in carparks...and they will be robbing you blind if you buy any of it.....[msneek][msnsad]

Hattie,

Especially with you going away, I would hate to see what you would do to anyone trying to nick your Florida spending money.

You could always use your hat as a frisbee and knock the robbers out!

Not long now, Liesa......Florida....[8D]

Yes this is for real my local paper had it warning about it........

"BEWARE OF NEW CAR-JACKING SCAM - NOT A JOKE!
&gt; &gt; This is from a Manchester Police Officer. Imagine you walk across
the
&gt; &gt; Car park, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your
doors,
&gt; &gt; Start the engine and shift into reverse. You look into the rear-view
&gt; &gt; mirror
&gt; &gt; to back out of your parking space and you notice a piece of paper
stuck
to
&gt; &gt; The middle of the rear window. So, you unlock your doors and jump
out of
&gt; &gt; Your car to remove the paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing
your
&gt; &gt; view.... When you reach the back of your car, that is when the
&gt; &gt; car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off.
&gt; &gt; Your
&gt; &gt; engine would be running (Ladies would have their handbag in the car)
and
&gt; &gt; they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. BE
AWARE OF
&gt; &gt; THIS SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED. Just drive away and remove the
paper
&gt; &gt; from your window later and be thankful you read this notice.* PLEASE
&gt; &gt; inform
&gt; &gt; all friends and family, especially women. A handbag* contains all
&gt; &gt; identification and you certainly do not want someone knowing your
Home
&gt; &gt; address, as they already have your keys!!!"
