Warning,

- yesterday I was robbed in my car whilst stopped at traffic lights!

Foolishly, I was caught by a new theme on an old scam.

Whilst parked at a red light you may be approached by a woman who offers to wash your window and during the distraction she causes, her accomplice opens the back door or boot and steals what he can. Both then run off leaving you with little that you can do.

If a woman approaches your car at traffic lights,- ignore her - look away.

This is an insidious scam and so far they have got me 10 times today - 4 times yesterday, four times the day before that and six times Sunday.

(Saturday I couldn't find the corner they were working.)
