You end up with some things stolen and a damaged car in addition. Determined criminals do amazing things and there is little you can do when someone is truly determined. Thanks.

Another problem might arise with if people store their vehicle registration and insurance information in their car’s glove compartment. Consider getting one with a lock on it.

“If you make online purchases, make them from known and trusted sources.” Yes, but pity the poor honest new online commercial entrant.

If we buy more from Amazon, who is watching Amazon to ensure they are not compromised?

People do not realize the loop holes until they are exploited. I agree that common sense and prevention are the best bets.

I wanted to paint the whole picture as there are so many parts to it that I found so fascinating, the networking that happened with the victims not just to result in the capture of the thieves and break-up of the local ring, but how we came together as strangers to learn the importance of our part in the whole plot. Then the way the whole network works, using the technology we thrive on for evil as they move through communities, stealing at every opportunity and then passing it on in such an assembly line process. Not the stereotype of a car thief I’d ever heard of before. This is serious business.

The privacy and security issues plague me. This is related and yet not to online privacy, so it felt right to bring that into the entire conversation since we never know what parts and pieces of our lives will be plucked and how they will come together with information from other sources to break through our personal security barriers, putting to risk our activities online, financial and personal, as well as our lives offline.

Glad you appreciated it! Thanks.

I’ll be passing the link to your post along because privacy is an important issue and as you point out removing data from the internet is not easily done. Thanks for the insight and practical steps to take to prevent becoming victimized.

Glad the police were able to do as much as they were for you.

I’ve long followed the rule of not posting things I don’t want people to know. I generally don’t mention going on a trip until after I’m home again, if it gets mentioned at all. I figure the people who need to know probably hear about it from other sources.
