How to Lock Your Car and Why
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 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..
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 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 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...look how many times we
all lock our doors with our remote...just to be sure we remembered to
lock them.....and bingo someone has our code...and whatever was in the
car...can be stolen.
Snopes Approved.Please share with everyone you know... Good
information!!!

it looks like to me lucky, it says the first remote keyless entry systems [RKES] that were desiged it the early 80's was vulnerable .There rf transmitters sent identiying codes that could be picked off by code grabbers.In the miid 90"s automakers shifted from RKES with fixed codes to systems employing rolling random codes. The codes change every time the RKES is used to unlock or lock , making these code grabbers useless. It says it is possible but would take days and knowledge of the system , data, specialized skills, equiptment, and access to various componets. I was just curious { i have a 94 vehicle with the RKES} plus i was bored , so i found it on snopes. So it is true and false at the same time.
