This will make you think twice about the way you lock your car. I've
been
using the inside door lock since I read this, and then just use my remote
to
get in
How to Lock Your Car and Why
I locked my car --- as I walked away I heard my car door unlock I went
back
and locked my car again three times. I looked around and there were two
guys
sitting in a car in the fire lane next to the store. When I looked
straight
at them they did not unlock my car again.
How to lock your car safely -
While traveling, my son stopped at a roadside park. 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...
He called the police and since there were no signs of his car being
broken
into - the police told him that 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 you
are
going inside of the store, restaurant, or bathroom and 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 stolen. Something
totally new to us...and real.
Be aware of this and please pass this note 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 the car...can be
stolen.
