Also gang...on the newer cars..watch those electronic key fobs we use to
open our cars doors now. What happens alot is you lock your car at home in the
driveway..and as you move about the house....sometimes you unlock the car
without knowing. Like when you hear people hit their alarm buttons on the key
fobs all the time. Well, the same thing happens with the locks on your car.
Then presto..some kids wait till night and just try the door handles on
cars...presto..doors open.
Interestingly, the Caddy STS uses no key. To open it (with the fob in your pocket) you grab the handle. It opens. When you leave the car, no need to lock it. Walk away and it automatically locks. Allegedly, (according to High Point Insurance) "the transponder on the Caddy STS is the most sophisticated system available on any American car. With it's rolling code, it is virtually impossible to start the car without a key."
Of course, a flat bed truck nullifies that statement.
