EDITOR—There is a new trick of robbers using car number-plates. These carjackers will stalk you to a parking lot or mall and after parking your vehicle; they remove your number- plate and wait for you to drive off. They then follow and overtake you, displaying your number-plate at their window as if they want to give it back to you.
Shocked that your number-plate has fallen off your car, you instinctively and gratefully stop your vehicle to get the number-plate from them. This is all they want you to do and by the time you realise what has happened it is too late! your car is either hijacked or your money or belongings are stolen or you could be raped or even killed!
Please never stop when you find yourself in such a situation because a number-plate is nothing compared to your life. Criminals are very cunning and ruthless.
