Police say there is a new high-tech robbery tactic using a device that electronically clones your car's security code when you lock your doors using your key chain locking device. Thieves sit a distance away and when a victim is inside a store or restaurant, they have a few minutes to break into the car, steal and run.
The solution is to manually lock your car door by the lock button inside the car as you leave. When you use the lock button upon exiting, it does not send the security code, but if you walk away and use the door lock on your key chain, it sends the code through the air where it can be stolen.
