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 45 minutes later and found someone had gotten
into his car, and stolen his cell phone, laptop computer, GPS
navigator briefcase. 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 be sure to manually lock
your car door by hitting the lock button ins ide 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.
Ooroo,

I've seen the light, and changed my wicked ways.
