NOW HEAR THIS...NOT ALL THIEVES ARE STUPID!!
1. Some people left their car in the long-term parking at San Jose while
away, and someone broke into the car. 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.
Something to consider 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all the money was already withdrawn.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 Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank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. And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back.
c. Also, 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.
