Don't know how much truth is in it but got an interesting email warning tonite. The email advised for people to cover the vin on your vehicle with tape or something removable as the newest crase in car theft is to write down your vin and go to the nerest dealer and request that they cut a key for your car as you have lost yours. The dealer uses the vin to come up with the right cut for your key and the car theif goes back to your locked car and unlocks it and drives away with an unmolested car to do with as they see fit.
If this is possible it is a very scary thought.

Is there anyone that works at a dealer that could verify this? :eek:

Wouldn't suprise me if this was the case...I put an old Redwings schedule over my VIN after reading that very same email though.....not like anypne'd wanna steal my pile but you never know..:huh:
 
I worked at a Saturn dealer (junk I know) but you had to bring in proof that you owned the car, DL, payment book, and insurance card to verify. And if it wasn't in your name tough shit...I do know people at certain dealerships that for $500 you can get a key if you have the VIN
 
Not allowed here anymore. You have to be a licensed locksmith or another dealer to order chip keys cut over the phone or you have to come to the dealer with drivers license and registration to get one done.

Ah but we all know that there are a lot of below prime dealers out there that would sell the motor from your car to someone else. :dgt:
 
I would think that you would have to prove ownershop of the vehice with registration papers or something or else this sounds a little too easy.

Scary indeed if it is happeniong though.

Good thing my shit aint numbers matching LOL.

The Government wants to watch your fat ass eat chips!

The little red dot on your electronic equipment is covering up a camera originally used by big entertainment industry to see how many times persons would use the knobs instead of the remote control. Now with 9/11 and it's implications NSA has taken control of installed cameras. How exactly They are using the information gathered is beyond this writers grasp. The only way to continue to use the device without banishing it from your home completely would be to secure it with a 1 inch by 1 inch square of grey (grey works best at absorbing camera light) duct type tape.
Some models this will render the remote control useless, 'tis a small price to pay for freedom.

You know...I used to think this very thing...then I quit smoking pot :shifty::D
 
Great Point FishBoy.......

My question is was it the pot, or just the stigma of smoking it.

Most (some smoker buddies are doing very well too though) of my friends that are still chronic are a paranoid bunch that can't get their shit together to say the least.:huh:

Anyways my conspiracy theories have dropped in number since i quit to, so your in the same boat.:giggedy:

One can't be too careful about this. When I was installing remote starters, I had no problem getting keys for vehicles I didn't own. Hell, one local dealership cut me a key, programmed its transponder, and dropped it at my house for me--that's right, I wasn't even at the shop. No, they didn't know me, either. It didn't even faze 'em, and they billed the key to the store without calling to verify anything--including whether I actually worked there.

This is far more frightening to me, though.

::orders a set of bump keys::

That's what alarms are for anyway. Locks are there so I can hear a burgular come in and I have time to slam the clip into the 9.

Although I must admit, bump keys mean I have to have the 9 a lot closer to the bed these days! Pretty intense.

I'm not sure which is worse. The fact that you can do that and buy the required key so easily or that it's shown on the internet to everybody who wants to learn how.

Got the rugrats to think of... at least with a nice full clip it takes more than a 4 year old's got to slam it home. (if somehow they were able to decipher the loc... oh shit... THE BUMP KEYS IN THE DRESSER! j/k

But where it used to reside cocked and locked an arm's length away, that's just not advisable with little ones in the house.
