Default OT - they stole my car


Bill,

So sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will get it back and
still in the same condition. Just curious, is the back door
an alternate entrance or one that you didn't feel you needed
to lock?

A new twist to stealing cars, well, ok, I don't know anything
about stealing cars, but this was a new one on me. A friend at
a pool hall I occasionally go to had left his keys on a counter
by the tables (not at the bar). Not realizing that he had done
this, he wasn't aware they disappeared. As he went to his car
at the end of the evening, he noticed that he didn't have his
keys and next noticed his car was gone. Since most new(er)
cars have the alarm/lock/unlock setup on the keychain, this
person only needed to grab his keys, walk outside and press the
unlock button and the car would announce which one it was.

the pocket was the keys to my car so they stole that too.

Hi Jim,

We did not lock the back door so the UPS driver could get in easily but that
will all change now.

My wife asked how did they know which car was ours? Well as you said they
all have the alarm/lock push button system so it was very easy.

Lucky I have another car.
