Using
the information on the car's registration in the glove compartment, they drove
the car to the people's home in Pebble Beach and robbed it. So I guess if we
are going to leave the car in long-term parking, we should NOT leave the
registration /insurance cards in it, nor your remote garage door opener.
This gives us something to think about with all our new electronic technology.
2.GPS.
Someone
had their car broken into while they were at a football game. Their car was
parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially
allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included a garage door
remote control, some money and a GPS which had been prominently mounted
on the dashboard. When the victims got home, they found that their house had
been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen. The
thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used the garage
remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves
knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was
scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean out the
house. It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its
contents.
If
you have a GPS - don't put your home address in it... Put a nearby address
(like a store or gas station) so you can still find your way home if you need
to, but no one else would know where you live if your GPS were stolen.
3.
CELL PHONES I
never thought of this.......
This
lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her cell phone
after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone,
credit card, wallet, etc., was stolen. 20 minutes later when she called her
hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says
'I
received your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while
ago.' When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money
was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to
text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20
minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.
Moral
of the lesson:
a. Do
not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list.
Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc....
b.
When sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back.
c.
When you're being texted by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure
to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach
them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text
you.
*PLEASE
PASS THIS ON
Even
if this does not pertain to you....Pass it on to your family and friends.
