Stolen cars.... be careful.

Not sure if it has happen where your at, but I work for an investigation unit in near Houston. There has been a few male subjects going around to "Private Sellers" with cars for sale in the paper, etc. They act as if their going to buy the car, that day. They want to test drive the vehicle and take it to the shop, so they leave you their identification which we have traced to a fake Id after an old gentleman seller jotted down the Drivers lisence number and fake name. From what were guessing their going to a local lock smith and having keys made for a couple dollars. In the night the cars are magically disapearing.

We've also had a numerous amount of people going to dealerships which they aren't asking for identification. They are taking in vin numbers off cars and getting keys made. So keep your vin covered when parked. Make sure to un-cover while driving as it is highly illegal.

Thanks Guys, be safe.

I've worked for the law enforcement for 27 years. Started out at 18 as neighborhood crime watch after having my expensive system stolen.

And living in the outskirts of Houston, we just have to deal with these kind of things evey day. We report over 100+ car break-ins or stolen vehicles per night.

Sound advice - thanks for posting about it, Forben70.

Should someone wanting to buy my car show up they are more than welcome to take a test drive - with me sitting right there beside them in the passenger seat //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Should they roll up in front of a locksmith's place of business with me sitting there they are both very, very bold and very, very stupid.
