[Shotimes] Fw: Who would have ever thought......

[Leslie Nielsen]

In the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds with Nicholas Cage they did this.  Had
an inside guy at a Mercedes dealer that had new keys made and handed them
over for a 'fee'.

Car Thieves Stealing Your Car:

 It seems that car thieves have found another way
to steal your car or truck without any effort at all.

 The car thieves peer through the windshield of
your car or truck, write down the VIN number from
the label on the dash, go to the local car dealership
and request a duplicate key based on the VIN number.

The car dealer's parts dept will make a duplicate key
from the VIN number 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 to walk up to yourcar, 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)
 across the VIN label located on the dash board.

By law, you cannot remove the VIN number, but you
can cover it so it can't be viewed 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.
