Our own previously disadvantaged is getting so smart nowadays that they should not be considered previously disadvantaged anymore.
I received a mail in the week telling about a new way thieves break into cars and I was stunned and how effective the technique works. It worked on my Toyota RunX, an Audi A3 (2009 model), a Land Rover Discovery and a brand new Honda Jazz.
There have been a lot of reports of people getting robbed, but without their windows smashed or doors broken into. What they do is use a normal remote control, the ones we use to open our gates and garage doors, and hold the button in. Then when you walk away locking your car it somehow interferes with the signal, leaving your car open and unlocked. They then simply open your door and steal all car content.
Scary. We noticed that the person holding the gate remote have to be quite close to the car in order for it to work. We experimented with several remotes and distances and found that the perfect way is for the thief to sit in a car next to yours in a parking area with the window open as the often do.
So when you leave your car make sure it is locked. My car makes a hooting sound when locked so I'm good. Hope this will help.
Chas, there are so many things that disturb me in this post.
Firstly that you have 4 cars... ??? Secondly, that you had time to try out all these various methods of stealing cars. :-\ Thirdly, that you've nailed the trick to stealing cars.. 8) And finally.. THAT THAT WORKS!!! Flip, that's crazy man, how do people figure this stuff out? Aish..
