[QUOTE="GLT, post: 2005566, member: 21248"] I'm not sure how difficult it is to obtain the key fob programming equipment, but my research suggested this is typically how they get the engine started in such a short timeframe. They steal the unlock code by sitting in a vehicle closeby with dark tinted windows and pick up the code when they see you unlock it. I'm sure there are important details I'm missing, and I'm not saying this is universally what they do, but it seemed to be the most common MO. I have firsthand knowledge (friends and acquaintances) of one attempted and two successful Raptor thefts, plus a failed and later successful theft of a single TRX, in DFW in the past 8 months or so. My buddy's TRX was broken into and being programmed at a D ick's sporting goods late one evening when he came out of the store, he caused a commotion and they got in a car with no plates and sped off. His same TRX was later stolen from the parking lot of a Service King when it was in for repairs. It is rampant. [/QUOTE]
