Be warned new way to steal your car...Seems that car thieves have found yet another way to steal your car or truck without any effort at all. The car thieves peer through thewindshield of your car or truck, write down the VIN # from the label onthe dash, go to the local car dealership and request a duplicate keybased on the VIN#.I didn't believe it, so I called a friend at BMW Hatfield in Pretoria and pretended I had lost my keys. They told me to just bring in the VIN#, and they would cut me one on the spot, and I could order the keylessdevice if I wanted.The Car Dealer's Parts Department will make a duplicate key from the VIN#, and collect payment from the thief, who will return to your car. He doesn't have to break in, do any damage to the vehicle, or draw attention to himself. All he has to do is walk up to your car, insert the key, and off he goes to a local Chop Shop with your vehicle. You don't believe it? It IS that easy. To avoid this from happening to you,simply put some tape (electrical tape, duct tape or medical tape) acrossthe VIN Metal Label located inside the windshield on the dash board. Byl aw, you cannot remove the VIN, but you can cover it so it can't beviewed through the windshield by a car thief. I urge you to forward this to your friends before some other car thief steals another car or truck.I slipped a 3 x 5 card over my car's VIN #.
