> Just a note for your protection when travelling by car!
> * Florida Highway Patrol confirmed that this was happening. *> *While traveling, my friend stopped at the roadside rest stop with> bathrooms, vending machines, etc. 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 (/transmitter/). They sit a> distance away and watch for their next victim. Since they know you are> going inside of the store, restaurant, or bathroom, it gives them a few> minutes to steal and run. The police officer said to 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 thru the airwaves where it can be stolen. *>> *I just wanted to let you know about this... It is something totally new> to us... And this is real... It just happened this past Thursday. *>> *So be aware of this and please pass this note on... Look how many times> we all lock our doors with our keys (/transmitters/)... Just to be sure> we remembered to lock them.... And bingo the guys have our code... And> whatever was in the car... Can be gone. *>> *Keep safe everyone*>
