Red+White Top and Stripes- 2000TransAmConvertible A4
Be Aware, thieves find new way to break into cars
This is something I found on the internet recently, perhaps this should have been posted in the off topic section but this section would have given this post more exposure and I think its important we inform as many members as we can to this.
How to lock your car safely:
While traveling a man stopped at a roadside park. He came out
to his car less than 5 minutes later and found someone had gotten into his car, and stolen his cell phone, laptop computer, GPS navigation unit,
briefcase, everything. He called the police and they said there were no
signs of his car being broken into. How did this happen?
There is a device out now that thieves are using that can clone the security code of your car's key-chain lock device. When you use the door lock on your key-chain it sends the code through the airwaves that can be read by another device (not just your car) and stolen. Thieves will sit a distance away from your car, watch for you to use your key-chain lock and steal your code. They know you are going inside of a store, restaurant, or bathroom and have a few minutes to steal and run.
How do you prevent this? Be sure to manually lock your car door by hitting the lock button inside the car, when you hit the lock button on your car upon exiting it does not send out the security code.
Be aware of this and please pass this information on to as many people as you can.
Keep safe everyone!

I feel ya there.....the gto has to be the winner for the shortest range out there. That and biggest key. Ever forgot to hit the button until you were 20 yards away or so and turn and try to use it then have to start walking back to the car and when it finally locks you think "crap, 3-4 more steps and I could've just done it by hand."

The only way to lock a GTO is with the fob.
