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. Two weeks later, my
friend's son had a similar happening....
While traveling, my friend's son
stopped at a roadside rest 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 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
Be wisely aware of what
you just read 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 our car. --Please share with everyone you
know.
