  • News 4 found an auto repair expert who says he knows exactly how thieves are doing this. Joe Barbaglia, owner of Columbia Auto Repair in The Hill, says they're taking apart pieces of the inside of your car behind your dash board and sometimes using advanced technology to get your car running. Barbaglia says car thefts have been out of control.

      Key fob could have been with the owner. Those infiniti vehcile only use the fobs to unlock and start the car. Once it's on it can be placed in park and back in drive without the fob having to be nearby. So that person pumping gas likely had the vehicle running when it was stolen

    As somebody who lived through the surge of car thefts in the nineties, the club doesn't work... You have 2 options, cut through a steel club, or cut the soft stirring wheel. Lost a 92 Honda that way. It seems like you would need something like a deadbolt and steel/chain snow tire cover. Wrap the column with the chain tire cover and lock it. If there's no leverage to break the steering column cover a criminal will pass. Make sure its visible when parked, so that it can be seen through a window without the need of breaking said window.

      @@DESIGNS-vo1mt These new cars, which do not need a key to start, are easy to steal. You have your fob in your pocket and you get into your car and press a button and the car starts. As long as you are within 5 feet of the car, someone else can slide behind the wheel and push the button and drive off with the car. Therefore, you pull up to a gas station, turn off the engine and go to the back of your vehicle to pump gas. You are standing within 5 feet and someone jumps in your car, pushes the button and off they go. As long as the engine is running, you don't need the fob. Once the engine is turned off and there is no fob within 5 feet, they can not restart the car. So it is a one-time use stolen vehicle.

Do you know when you believe and obey Jesus, you can call on Jesus for help and God will give you peace and help the authorities locate the thieves, God will also punish the evildoers now or one day God will throw them to hell (Lake of Fire) if the thieves do not repent. Most importantly, It is the inheritance of God's kingdom that will last forever. We trust God for everything! Amen! Call on Jesus now to confess your sins and receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
