Your a good guy nybsbl04... giving me faith in the city again. Lived here all my life and never had an ounce of trust for anyone I dont know really. Owners should give you those 230s just for helping them locate their 40k+ car to them on goodwill alone.

heres an interesting article from C&D about stealing keyless entry frequencies. some of you may have read it before.
http://www.caranddriver.com/features...codes_-feature according to the article, its virutally impossible to steal someones car this way: Here’s how it works: To issue an unlocking/locking action, the transmitter sends a request to the receiver/control module in the car. With the request, the transmitter also sends a new code sequence and TIC to the receiver. To issue an unlock/lock command, the code sequence and TIC sent by the transmitter must be one that hasn’t been used before and the next—or one of the next few—in a planned sequence. This is what is known as a rolling code. And there aren’t just a lot of possible codes; there are a whole buttload of them—4.8 million billion combinations. So even if thieves did manage to steal the TIC and the code sequence from the transmitter, the chance of stumbling upon that crucial next code is one in 4.8 million billion. Good luck with that.

You sure this college guy didnt get drunk and forget where he parked, lol? How could thieves steal it, lock the door, then not be able to get it going again?

You guys are all overlooking the obvious. nybsbl04 is part of a car theft ring. He needed someone on here to run the VIN for him so that he could send his accomplices in Cali to the owners home to retrieve the fob. How Naive of you all.
Ok, seriously, good on you nybsbl04. It's much easier to just ignore something like that than to go out of your way to help out. A great quote from one of my favorite movies, Boondock Saints, "Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." +1 to the guy that said, may good karma come your way! |

Wow, this is incredible. Have you had any more contact with the family? Someone should at least take you out to dinner.

How did they disconnect the battery? It takes me a good 5 minutes to take out the bolt with pliers and remove the wire. And the battery is in the trunk anyways which is closed.
