~DON'T GET TAKEN~

We recently received an email which stated that car thieves had a new inventive way of stealing cars. They look into your windshield and get the VIN #. They then call the car dealer and state that they are the owner who lost their keys. They give the dealer the VIN # who in return gives them a key. The person who sent the email said they tried this and the dealer said they would indeed give them a new key. We always want to research information before we pass it along. Therefore, we called our local Ford dealer and gave them the VIN # of our car and requested a new key. They did say they could give us a key, but we had to provide proof of ownership! Whew!! If this concerns you, give your dealership a call and see what they say. Better safe than sorry. Pass it along!!
