HOW
TO LOCK YOUR CAR AND WHY! ! !
Latest hi-tech tool thieves are using .
Be
I locked my car. As I walked away I heard my car door unlock . I went
back
and locked my car
again three times
. Each time , as soon as I started to walk away , I would hear it unlock
again ! !
Naturally alarmed
, I looked around and there were two guys sitting in a car in the fire
lane next to
the store . They
were obviously watching me intently , and there was no doubt they were
somehow involved
in this very weird
situation . I quickly chucked the errand I was on , jumped in my car and
sped away .
I went straight to
the police station , told them what had happened , and found out I was
part of a new ,
and very
successful , scheme being used to gain entry into cars , by thieves
.
Two weeks later , my friend's son had a similar happening . While
traveling , my friend's son stopped
at a roadside rest
stop , to use the bathroom . When he came out to his car less than 4-5
minutes later ,
someone had
gotten into his car and stolen his cell phone , laptop computer , GPS
navigator , briefcase
--you name it !
! He called the police , and since there were no signs of his car
being broken into ,
the police told
him he had been a victim of the latest robbery tactic -- there is a
device
that robbers
are using now to
clone your security code when you lock your doors on your car using your
key-chain
locking device .
They sit a distance away and watch for their next victim . They know now
you are going
inside of the
store , restaurant , or bathroom , and that they now have a few minutes
to
steal and run .
The police officer
said to MANUALLY lock your car door by hitting the lock button inside the
car -- that
way , if
there is someone sitting in a parking lot watching for their next
victim ,
it will not be you ! ! !
When you hit the
lock button on your car upon exiting , it does not send the security code
, but if
you walk away
and use the door lock on your key chain , it sends the code through the
airwaves where it
can be
instantly stolen . This is very real ! !
Be wisely aware of
what you just read , and please pass this email on . Look how many times
we all
lock our doors
with our remote just to be sure we remembered to lock them -- and bingo ,
someone has
our code and
whatever was in our car ! ! !
LOCK THE CAR manually (button inside) is THE BEST to avoid thieves
