HOW TO LOCK YOUR CAR…..

This Is NO JOKE---

It's Here As A Reminder…..

 

Hi Everyone,

SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW THIS AND MIGHT FORGET TO DO IT ONCE IN AWHILE, BUT TRUST ME...THERE ARE QUITE A FEW THAT ARE TOTALLY CLUELESS TO THIS... WE JUST HAVE TO HELP THEM OUT...

I received this today and thought you might find it valuable.  This kind of struck home.  The other day we went looking for a different car at the local Honda dealer.  The salesperson didn't have to go back to the office to get keys to open any car on the lot.  He had little black box with buttons.
All he had to do was look at the VIN number or some number on the windshield and punch in the appropriate numbers.  Eureka, the car was unlocked so we could look at the inside I don't know if they're using something similar to what this article talks about but it's fairly probable…
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. Each time, as soon as 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. This is very real. 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.
