[s-cars] Inovative Car Thieves

[Mark Strangways]

Well, why do all that travel then.
Go to your favorite stealer, find the car you like, in the color you like, 
with all the options.

Grab the VIN, cause it'll be right handy on the sheet.
Go to parts department, and order your brand new keys.

There you go, new car right off the dealer showroom, at cents on the dollar 
of sticker...

Come on... NO ONE could believe that...
I ordered an Ignition switch for my bike, and I had to jump thru hoops to 
get it...

Unless U all down south of me are getting dumb... and I REALLY doubt that.

>> The Car Dealer's Parts Department will make a duplicate key from the

>> You don't believe it?   It IS that easy.

>> To avoid this from happening to you, simply put some tape (electrical
>> tape, duct tape or medical tape) across the VIN Metal Label located on
>> the dash board. By law, you cannot remove the VIN, but you can cover it
>> so it can't be viewed through the windshield by a car thief.
>> I urge you to forward this to your friends before some other car thief
>> steals another car or truck
