hee hee hee.

I like that "HI-jacking" Al.

I keep forgetting to call him during business hours. And when I remember, I don't have his phone # with me. I'm going to do it...hopefully soon.

 

Liability waiver any one?

 

The plastic in the keys has an imbeded chip. Thats how the imobilizer works. the car is programmed to respond to the signal. I had to reprogram mine when my helped stuffed his tiney size 8 through the main ECU power wire (shorted crap out and freaked the ECU out). Easy to do but you only have 1 stored code at a time. So the key has to match the lock tumblers and have the correct transponder codes. if they have that, hell, no z would be safe..

It accualy quite easy a similar system used to find the remote frequency codes for high dollar garage door openers will work and a good lock smith can get the tumblers. If any one want your car they can get it. it just how bad and how much are they willing to spend. More than likely its an inside job. They had to have acess to the main or 2 spare keys. Plain and simple.

If you hung out at the shop enough you see that when ball games are on most eyes are fixed on the tube. Playing the little dollar flip betting games. When I went in there a few times I saw several keys just sitting by the counter. NOT THAT IM CROOKED OR ANY THING ! But they were an easy reach. Any one with access to the building can steak out any thing.

What it boils down to is: A) you know its stolen B) you know roughly how much work is in it, and C) A + B = Huge leverage. Theft recovery (which this would be considered are worth about half of there KBB or NADA value if in great shape.

 

Good to know. Thanks for the info
