i'm seriously thinking of getting GPS tracking in my van... i've heard this sort of thing happen to city council worker, he jumped out to get a witches hat and two youths jumped in and drove off, he hung onto the truck for a few 100 meters before he fell off.

      Yeah its true Skip. I remember telling my oldman about this scam a few years ago.
      Some victim took it upon themself to plaster the the suburb of Coburg in Melbourne with flyers warning about it happening.
      From what l remember the flyer warned people that if you see a peace of paper on your rear window. Grab it before
      entering your car, Have a good look around , Or just ignore it as its not normal tp leave a panphlet or note on the back of your car.
     You expect one under the wiper.
     
       Have not of it happening again . I wonder if its the same gang moving areas until some heat is applied.

                    Cheers Frank
