How did they take my accord?
I have/had a 2002 Accord that was stolen. When it was taken, the car
was locked, with the alarm set. Granted, it was the factory alarm. My question -- how did they do that? I thought the accord has some sort of chip in the key that was supposed to help prevent (not always prevent, I realize) theft. Any ideas? There was no glass, so I'm guessing the got in the car w/ a slim-jim or something and somehow got the car started, in spite of the alarm going off. It was in a parking lot, but I know that most people ignore car alarms........ |

No, parking brake was not set. The police did find the car, and when
they did, the brake was set and the doors locked. Apparently, the locks all appeared fine. (?) |

Actually what pros do now is move your car to a quiet area and leave it
there for several days in case it has a GPS security system. They don't want someone to find it as they take it apart.
