Did you know....
Car thieves peer through the windshield of your vehicle, write down the VIN # from the label on the dash, go to the local dealership and request a duplicate key?
I didn't believe this email, so I called Chrysler-Dodge and pretended I had lost my keys. They told me to just bring in the VIN #, and they would cut me a new one on the spot, and I could order the keyless device if I wanted!
The dealership Parts Department will make a duplicate key from the written VIN # and collect payment from the theif, who will then return to your car.
They don't have to break in, do any damage to your vehicle, or draw any attention to themselves. All they have to do is walk up to your car, insert the key and off they go to the local chop shop with your vehicle.
It IS that easy!
To avoid this from happening to you, simply put some dark tape (electrical tape, duct tape, or medical tape) across the VIN # metal label located on the dashboard. By law, you cannot remove the VIN # but you CAN cover it so it cannot be view through the windshield.
I urge you to tell your friends and family before a theif makes a clean get away with their vehicle!
