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 ... 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 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 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 keys...just to be sure we remembered to lock
them.....and bingo someone has our code...and whatever was in the
car...can be gone. Keep safe everyone!
