Dear Member,
 
1. CAR LOCK - VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The following information passed on by our committee Member Mr.D.V.J.Vittal our car lock is Circulated for your kind attention.
Car lock-do it from the door control
*How to Lock Your Car and Why ?*
I locked my car. As I walked away I heard my car door unlock. I went back and locked my car again three times. Each time, as soon as I started to walk away, I would hear it unlock again!! Naturally alarmed, I looked around and there were two guys sitting in a car in the fire lane next to the store. They were obviously watching me intently, and there was no doubt they were somehow involved in this very weird situation. I quickly chucked the errand I was on, jumped in my car and sped away. I went straight to the police station, told them what had happened, and found out I was part of a new, and very successful, scheme being used to gain entry into cars. Two weeks later, my friend's son had a similar happening.
While travelling, my friend's son stopped at a roadside rest to use the bathroom. When he came out to his car less than 4-5 minutes later, someone had gotten into his car and stolen his cell phone, laptop computer, GPS navigator, briefcase......you name it. He called the police and since there were no signs of his car being broken into, the police told him he had been a victim of the latest robbery tactic -- there is a device that robbers are using now to clone your security code when you lock your doors on your car using your key-chain locking device.
They sit a distance away and watch for their next victim. They know you are going inside of the store, restaurant, or bathroom and that they now have a few minutes to steal and run. The police officer said to manually lock your car door-by hitting the lock button inside the car -- that way if here is someone sitting in a parking lot watching for their next victim, it will not be you.*
Note: The receiving device is known as a "Spectrum Analyzer" and the signal can be recorded and played back to unlock the car door. True!*
 
2. Registering your Email ID for receiving AGM Notice
We had requested the members through our House Magazine to register the e-mail ID for getting AGM Notice and agenda through e-mail from 2011-12. But only very few had responded. If you had not responded so far we will be thankful if you could kindly send your particulars in the format given in the website. Thanks a lot for your cooperation.

M.K. Subramanian.
