Your luxury car may fall victim to laptop theives

This makes you think twice about the luxury bluetooth option on your next car purchase doesn’t it.

Hi-tech crooks have a new weapon in their armoury to steal cars – the computer laptop. Thieves have perfected a way to steal expensive models with the oh so convenient computer package(s).

Security experts are warning of the new car breaker days after England football captain David Beckham had his second motor stolen in six months. This time, Spanish police believe a gang followed Beckham’s BMW X5 until he left it in an underground car park – giving them the time to break the car’s electronic security with their laptop.

That old hooptie doesn’t sound so bad anymore does it? At least you know there won’t be any computer smart thieves trying to jack your car. While the current 20 minute process is less than sly, I’m sure the amount of time to acquire electronic door locks will decrease unless car manufacturers smarten up.
