Did they leave their keys in the car?
Guess what they don’t even need your key, they have scanners that pick up your Transmitter. The scanners can record any frequency from garage door openers , A key fobs, and other low frequency transmissions. So you can have the best locks on your car, the best alarm, steering wheel locks, those are all great tools all it does is slow them down if they want the car they’re going to take it. There’s so much money to be made and the story. These kids that I take in the cars don’t care. It’s a damn shame you work hard to buy something nice and someone stealing it. The main thing is don’t even leave your garage door opener, or your insurance card and registration in the car. Take a picture of your insurance and registration keep it on your phone and keep your garage door opener in your pocket, purse whatever. I know it’s a pain in the ass. At least if they steal the car they don’t have your garage door opener or any of your documents. If they steal your car they have your garage door opener and they walk right into your garage and then they have all your information on the insurance and registration paperwork. That’s why you’re allowed to show your documents by your photo now. Which is a good thing.
Guess what.
They don’t even need your key…. they only need Low Income Housing access,
Yeah, lower income people are criminals, at least generally speaking.
this is a sanctuary state , NJ loves criminals
I have always kept my car registration in my wallet.
