Locking car doors
The police told him that thieves now were using a type of scanner that reads the radio signal sent out by automatic car door openers like we all have on our keychains. They employ them in parking lots when they see someone leaving their or entering their cars and clicking their openers. Then when the person has gone, they can reproduce the signal and the door opens. He advised locking your car with the key since no radio signal is emitted. |

Wonderful, criminals are so clever because they have all day, unlike those who have to work for a living, to create this crap.  If only they'd channel their energy for good |
| This was passed around in an email the other week by my friends. Scary. |
| I, too, saw this last week. Scary. |

I've always wondered why they dont put all the ingenuity and effort into something legal and helpful. |
 Criminal Justice professionals all over the world wonder the same thing!  |

Too much 'red tape'. I got an email about this too, then I got another one that said it was false. When I checked into it they said it was mainly the older model cars that were affected. 1990's - and maybe early 2000's, when the auto-locks first came out.?? As long as we don't use the remotes I guess we're safe. |
