Hi Alex, Doug and Sonny and Bill and whoever else...
The 'technology' for stealing a car isn't so different from the
technology for 'chipping' one! Surprising what a few smart brains can
come up with with a CANalyser and some software expertise. And
organised crime is willing to pay lots for the expertise. Most
expensive cars are sold to order now, generally for e.g. the East
European mafia etc.
You might find it interesting to have a look Cambridge University's
website items from Ross Anderson, who is an internationally renowned
encryption expert. Try searching in Google on 'digital tachographs' and
'Ross Anderson.' You'll find it fascinating - and worrying - I'm sure.
I seem able to start some lively debates! And that's what makes this
forum so enjoyable; we don't get too hung up on pure Leica - or even
pure photography.
Next week I have to fly to Detroit on business. :-( Deep joy! What's
the weather like there - as lousy as ours has been...? :-\ I wonder if
they still sell the T-shirts there with the caption 'I'm so bad, I
vacation in Detroit'....? ;-) Or, as a colleague over there said,
when asked if he lived there, 'you don't live in Dee-troit, son, y'only
resahde there!!' Enough said, I think....
Cheers
Keith
