[tcb] Re: Fwd: How to lock your car safely

Here is an interesting one for you. I work in the criminal justice system, and 
sometimes share my stories. We had a guy working as a valet parker. What he 
would do is when he parked a car, take the garage door opener if there was one, 
look in the glove box on the insurance card for the address, call his buddy, 
pass off the opener and the address to them. They would then go by the house, 
and knock under a false pretense, like sales or something, and if no one 
answered, they would open the garage door and go in and steal things. Several 
times he found the door to the house open inthe garage and went in that way. 
 
There are some shady people around these days. Lock your doors period.

When I was a kid my family lived in San Bernardino, CA. (a##hole of the 
planet). They had a problem of people's automatic garage doors opening by 
themselves and there was in the news that it might be some criminal thing. It 
turned out to be Dick Nixon's Air Force One. He flew in to Norton Air Force 
Base to go to the Western Whitehouse in San Clemente. The thing bristled with 
so much radio emissions and scramblers that it would open garage doors all over 
the city.

I have heard though that, like garage door openers, the older remote/keyless 
entry devices can be triggered using a radio transmitter. 


I think though that it is faster just to smash and grab.

Useful information.












This is very troubling what lengths people will go to to steal what doesn't 
belong to them ! 100% of the time I lock my car on the door lock inside when I 
exit the car. Little did I know that is the best way to lock your car.
Read on......
 
Beware folks. This is news you can use.
 
THIS HAS BEEN CHECKED ON SNOPES My oldest son came over yesterday- he had to go 
toCanada for work last week.  One of the other engineers traveling to Canada 
with him, but in his own car had something happen...that I need to share.
 
While traveling he stopped at the roadside park, similar to what we have here 
with bathrooms, vending machines etc. He came out to his car less than 4-5 
minutes later and found someone had gotten into his car, and stolen his cell 
phone, laptop computer, gps navigator briefcase.....you name it.
 
They called the police and since there were no signs of his car being broken 
into- the police told him that there is a divice 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 you are 
going inside of the store, restaurant, or bathroom and have a few minutes to 
steal and run. The police officer said...to be sure 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 thru the airwaves where it can be stolen.
 
I just wanted to let you know about this...it is something totally new to 
us...and this is real...it just happened this past Thursday June 19th to his 
co-worker...
 
So be aware of this and please pass this note on..look how many times we all 
lock our doors with our keys...just to be sure we remembered to lock 
them....and bingo the guys have our code...and whatever was in the car...can be 
gone.
 
Keep safe everyone!
