Dear Michael,
New Device
used to Capture Rolling Codes...
There have been numerous reports around the country of
vehicles being entered or stolen with high-tech devices; leaving no
signs of entry or bypass. Investigators need to be aware of these
types of tools to determine the truth about a reported stolen.

San Diego Symposium
Demonstrates High-Tech Auto Theft with affordable Relay Attack.
On February 7th, Swiss computer science professors
will discuss wireless relay attacks on vehicles equipped with smart
key systems. They will show how to enter and start 10 car models from
8 manufacturers without the owners knowledge. Their tests mimic the
previously reported ability to send a signal to a car, allowing a
suspect to enter, start, and drive the car away. A video explaining
this process can be viewed at: http://vintrack.com/SIU.html or by clicking here.
They have also published a paper detailing the information that can
be downloaded from the above link. Their tests allow suspects
to be 25' away from the victims key and send the signal more that
150' to the car allowing it to start.

Jammer or
Grabber, you decide
KTVU 2 News in
the Bay Area previously released surveillance video of Toyota
Highlanders being entered without forced entry. You be the judge if a
code jammer or grabber was used. Grabber
clues would be if the interior lights of the vehicle are activated
prior to entry. Click here to watch the video.
My first investigative step would be to determine if there were a
common denominator in the victims vehicles (other than they are all
Highlanders). Such as, were they all serviced at the same facility or
were they all valet parked at the same location. Generally to program
a working fob vehicles you need access to the victims key and/or
vehicle.
