Remote Keyless Entry Code
Jamming (RKE)
|
Last issue we discussed
how the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system works on a
vehicle.
This month we posted an article on RKE
jamming techniques frequently used by suspects breaking
into cars. For more information and a video click

Dear Reader,
Automotive Fraud has
already increased due to the gas crises,
upside down car loans, and the devaluation of used
car prices for larger gas-guzzling cars
(particularly Trucks and SUVs).
Asian
automakers outsold Detroit's Big Three in the
United States for the first time last month (June
2008). Ford sales were down 29.5%, GM 18.5%, and
Chrysler was down 36%.
Conversely, Honda
sales were up, and for the first time in years the
Ford F-150 was outsold by compact cars such as the
Accord, Civic and Camry.
Arson
investigators are seeing an increase in burns of
trucks and SUVs. We need to be very
diligent in our investigation of claims involving
the vehicles whose numbers are
plummeting.

and stats at the Fast and Fraudulent workshop, click here for details and

Sport Compact Car
Events With the increase
in sport compact sales and modifications comes an
increase in theft and fraud. Over the last 10
years we have seen an increase in theft and fraud
claims related to modified vehicles before, during
and after events.
Although we can not
attest to the accuracy of the event dates listed
on the this
site, use it as a start to determine what is
going on in your city: July events in CT, FL, NC,
NJ, NV, ME, TN... http://www.autosportz.com/events_calendar.htm
