It's 2011, what are they waiting for! LOL LOL
it has been nearly 10 years and I'm still waiting.....

hahaha, i'm checking back because there are car hacking technology reports is in the news recently as there are still "concerns" but has anyone had their car stolen by a computer-wielding key-cloning car thief?

it's 2015, what exactly are the criminals waiting for? it's not like there is a shortage of "hackable" cars on the road. why risk smashing a window or taking someone's keys at gunpoint, that's so 20th century. bluetooth your way to riches; pull into the mall's parking lot with a laptop and open up car doors on command!

i'll check back in, let's say, 2020.

well, i guess this never happened. anybody get their car stolen by a thief with a laptop nearby? not me....but i wish they would!

perhaps that's old school and the new method is to secretly attach an airtag to your bumper and locate you online to later steal your car. these criminals are tired of stealing cars the old fashion way and would rather use latest technology to make it painless and less likely to get caught, eh? just like the laptop cloning method, there may be one or two or three incidents but at least in my town, a big rock and lots of speed is still the preferred method.

I hate to inform you that it's now 2021 and soon to be 2022! You lost a year!

Good on you for checking back though!
