Yet Another Warning from Andrea
The car thieves peer through the
windshield of your car or truck, write down the VIN # from the label on
the dash, go to the local car dealership and request a duplicate key
based on the VIN #. I didn’t believe this e-mail, so I called
Chrysler-Dodge and pretended I had lost my keys They told me to just
bring in the VIN #, and they would cut me one on the spot, and I could
order the keyless device if I wanted.
The Car Dealer’s Parts Department will
make a duplicate key from the VIN #, and collect payment from the thief
who will return to your car. He doesn’t have to break in, do any damage
to the vehicle, or draw attention to himself. All he has to do is walk
up to your car, insert the key and off he goes to a local Chop Shop with
your vehicle. You don’t believe it? It IS that easy.
To avoid this from happening to you,
simply put some tape (electrical tape, duct tape or medical tape) across
the VIN Metal Label located on the dash board. By law, you cannot remove
the VIN, but you CAN cover it so it can’t be viewed through the
windshield by a car thief.
Post Turtle
whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up
a conversation with the old man.
Eventually the topic got around to Barack Obama and his bid to
be our President.
The old rancher said,’Well, ya know, Obama is a ‘post turtle’.'
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a
‘post turtle’ was.
The old rancher said, ‘When you’re driving down a country road
and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top,
that’s a ‘post turtle’.'
The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain.
‘You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there,
he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just want
to help the dumb ass get down.’ ‘It’s either that or leave the dumb ass
in that situation to become totally worthless and useless.’
