The people that break into cars are 99.9% not going to be the type that would look up your license number in a database. They will be looking to hit quick, leave and go to the target while the owner is still away.cb1000rider wrote:They can also get that information from databases on the internet that allow license plate lookup...

Re: Forgot to lock things up "just one time" ...
I leave mine in the car, but have a locking system on the garage door that locks out the remotes when activated and I turn it on at night.Pawpaw wrote:This brings up another point about "layered security". Don't EVER leave your garage door remote outside in your car at night. Even worse would be to leave it in the car while there's no one home.The Annoyed Man wrote:A few weeks ago, a thief broke into my son's car in his driveway and stole his radar detector. Thankfully, the thief didn't check his trunk, were a custom built very nice AR15 was stored. He brings it in at night now and parks his car inside his garage......where he should have been parking it all along.
Even leaving it in your car elsewhere is a risk. If a thief breaks into your vehicle, he probably has easy access to your garage door remote and your Texas insurance card. Now he has your address too.
However, if you have a GPS in the vehicle and you have the 'Home' location set, they can get your garage remote and will have a map straight to your house by using YOUR GPS.
