While not a violent crime my brother had his 2023 GMC 1500 Denali stolen out of his driveway last week. He had it for less than 2 months. He's sort of Heights-adjacent, on Aurora off Main just inside the Loop.
Cops told him that evidently thieves have figured out how to spoof GMC keys so they can just unlock it and start right up. And they can disable OnStar tracking too.
He has driveway cams but they're not connected to lights or an alarm I don't believe and his cams showed it happening about 2:30am. I'm sure his truck was in Mexico by sunrise.

He hasn't done anything yet. It's been less than a week so he's in a rental. He said with this news about the keys he'll look at Ford and Toyota.
Good for him. GM has had issues with their trucks being stolen long before this key deal.
Two years ago, I knew 3 people (2 tahoes and one Silverado) get their cars stolen the same month. Thieves cut the horn, broke into the car, got it started, drove away, and disabled on star in minutes. They had cameras and could see the lights flashing, so the alarm was going off, just no horn. They also got emails from onstar saying they had an alarm. All 3 replaced with the same vehicle.
Now they can apparently extend the range of the key to use that to unlock and start it. But the above method is probably still more common.

FWIW I have had thieves in my 2016 F 150 multiple times and tail lights stolen without alarm going off any of the times. Thieves can unlock through the exposed door lock cylinder in driver door.
Yeah, F150's are really easy to break into. But there's a reason significantly more GM's are stolen even though there are less of them….

How long do you want to ignore this user?

a 392 Charger in my garage has one of these on his wheels, at first I thought it was because he was a broke d, but its a theft deterrent.

It's not hard for someone to cut horn wires to silence the alarm. That's how they do it in SA at least.

These guys got robbed by 5 teens while on the job working along 288. And of course one of the 5 teens was out on bond for assault.

According to court records, a construction crew was in the middle of their day when a car stopped by them and five teens, all younger than 18, jumped out -- two of them with guns. According to court records, the two armed teens pointed the guns at the workers' faces.
Robbing a construction crew? Something tells me these fellows didn't do well in their business and economics courses at university.
They can't start their own construction business without tools.
Or build homes for Habitat for Humanity or orphanages for the blind. Or libraries in their communities.maroon barchetta said:

Why only quote the guys in Spanish? This isn't a Spanish language newspaper. Too racist to translate?

Spanish isn't a race. It's a nationality. Or a language, in this case.
This is difficult, I know.
i didn't use the word first. maybe comprehension is hard
And yet you couldn't help but comment.
Wow. Your deflection was weak.

Apparently this started as a shooting in Briargrove. Police tried to pull these idiots over and a gunfight ensued with the law abiding citizens firing at the police all through the neighborhood. The mass shooting happened minutes later and it is supposedly the same folks. Dindunuffin……

Is that the old Barry's pizza location? If so, I think they may have skipped a step or two in the Richmond club cycle.

Rappers are throwing dice behind a bowling alley in the middle of the night and it's the bowling alley's fault for not providing adequate security.

810 should be able to skirt this since this was a private event hosted by someone else. Should mitigate the security responsibilty as long as 810 covered it in contract for the private event that security was on the host.Quote:
The rapper and his uncle, fellow Migos member Quavo, were attending a private event hosted by J. Prince Jr., son of Rap-A-Lot founder, J. Prince.

The shooting was one of 17 that unfolded during the same weekend in Houston. The city insists, though, that violent crime is down.
