Those remote locks on our cars have given car thieves a new way to break into our vehicles without keys. All they have to do is grab our security code from the airwaves, use their laptop to create a key, send that code back over the air to unlock your vehicle remotely. Codes are easy to steal - anytime you use your remote to lock or unlock your car, it sends the code, which can be grabbed by anyone who has a suitable receiver. It only takes a thief seconds to do this.
They can then gain entry to your vehicle and steal whatever is in it - your laptop, wallet, purse or whatever you leave inside while you are at a rest stop, or grocery store. Beware. Don't use your remote to lock or unlock your car in a public parking lot. Use the inside lock when you exit the car, it does not send the code over the airwaves.
Isn't technology wonderful?
