Too Convenient? Project Manager Of New Anti-Theft Tech Has Car Stolen
from the yeah,-right dept
This one sounds way too convenient. Apparently the project manager on a new type of vehicle-anti-theft system had his car stolen (and recovered) just a couple weeks before the technology was to be launched. The "thief" was never caught and the car was found, "abandoned," a few miles from the owner's home. The timing, and the complete lack of details seem to work in favor of this being more of a publicity stunt than a real crime at work.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Good call
It's even written in a pretty company-fellating way.. Blech.
It's all meaningless anyways - your new anti theft system will work so long as the thieves haven't figured it out yet, and then you're back where you started.
Anything that requires power can be exploited.
The only effective (and cheap) way I see to deter auto crime is to behead car thieves on the side of the road and leave them there...
