Prevent auto theft w/this devise!! Fingerprint car starter makes it where only you or authorized users can start your vehicle. Holds 9 fingerprints and can be disabled for shop/valet. Even has a anti-car jacking feature whereas if door is open after vehicle is started, alarm is set off and if required fingerprint is not applied fuel will be shut off 30 seconds later. Most insurance companies give 20-30% discount, so this product will pay for itself. see my website www.libertybiometrics.com

Well that's just great. Another disservice by good ol' Russ. Now he's teaching everyone in the KC area how to break into people's homes and cars - complete with web sites and videos. Even kids get are being taught how to do it. It's bad enough that this information is on the web but to actually show how to look it up is just irresonsible. Can't somebody at Action News give Russ a worthwhile project?

Bump keys are too slow when a whack with your shoulder or a stiff kick can do the job. The deadbolt sold around town in most stores (Schlage) looks strong but it is a hollow steel tube like a lipstick case. The real dirty little secret is locks are made purposely to be easy to defeat. They are mostly made in China out of cheap parts that break easily and door jambs break under minimal force so a bump key is not worth the price to buy one. We have interviewed thieves in 41 states. The #1 method of entry is just force open the door or break the glass.
