Im Baffled.. Someone broke into my car last night..
my brother was off to school this morning, and as he was getting into my moms car, he notices my door was opened..
he says that my center console was opened, and so was my glove compartment, with one of my Commerce Bank envelopes on my seat, which was empty beforehand...
so i check my car and i noticed everything is still there, as far as i know, except my bottle of Cocoa butter stashed on the side of the door and a pack of cigarettes i had laying out... they didnt even take the roll of quarters i had in my cup holder...
so now im completely baffled... who the hell breaks into someones car and just takes lotion and cigarettes? my radio and sub was still there...
and second, can anyone tell me how they would break in? i checked all my locks and they seem normal, and all my door trim and shit is in tact. except the rear passenger seat door, and im not sure if it was like this beforehand...
what does evryone think of this? do you think they tried to get in to see if it was easy, and might come back?

How old is your brother? Maybe he's just getting familiar with.. himself... and additionally wants to see what smoking is like? So he opened your car, then told you someone broke in. ![rofl](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
Okay okay, I don't mean to make light of your situation. If anyone unlocked a door or opened a door, the stock alarm will sound. Are you sure it was locked? Think carefully about what the conditions and your actions were the last time you parked it.

how do people break in nowadays? should there be any marks?
are our cars easy to break into?
i havent driven it since sunday, so im not sure if i locked the doors or not, but it would be pretty random for some guy to try and open my door since i live in a relatively quiet neighborhood and i have my car in my driveway...
i checked all over and thats all i could find, but i dont even know if it was like that before the night or not..

Maybe forgot to lock your car?
I had a 91 Camry stolen once - they decided they wanted a joyride in a 4 banger. After screwing up the locks, ignition, and tranny, I found a bottle of power steer fluid in my backseat. To this day, I thank them for topping off my fluids after jacking my car.

02 TLS SSM - Hi Oh Silvr!
Cold Blooded
Pretty cold blooded if you ask me. The dude goes through all the trouble of breaking into your car and once in, does not see anything he wants. Big Mike gets no respect!
Or just maybe, Big Mike got so high the night before, he left his own door ajar????
Sounds like a puzzle for CSI NY.
If I were you Big Mike I'd be shaking down the hood to find the dude that disrepected your car!
Maybe you got Jerry Seinfeld's old car with BO. Once inside, the perpetraitor couldn't stand the stench and ran for his life!
Orrr, hold it I got another...., maybe another TL owner hit his unlock FOB and your door opened.......
Glad to drain the brain trust on this very important problem! Where is FASTTYMS when you need him?

You could've left the car unlocked, or somebody who knows about this stuff is out to mess with you. If the car is unlocked and the door opened within approximately 30 seconds of setting the alarm, it will not activate. I've tried this before and it was as if I didn't even set the alarm.
Once I unlocked a Ford Explorer using the numeric pad. Don't ask how I knew the number, because you wouldn't believe me, anyway. But the car unlocked, and my buddy and I opened all the doors and left the car like that. It belonged to someone we knew, and we were just playing a prank on him, plus the car was safely in the school parking lot. Could be a simliar thing going on here.

Don't ask me how but I've seen it done many, many times done to my car cause a friend was showing me that he could break into my car (one reason why I bought a real alarm). If you got stock alarm, nothing will go off cause they go through the key hole and if you ever tried with YOUR key, the alarm will disable if you use the key hole. My aftermarket alarm will go off if you try using the key hole so I don't have to worry about fuckers like these.
Oh, incase you (or others) are scared that they could break in so easily, don't worry, they cant drive away with your car at least. The immobilizer will not bybass other keys, BUT they can get it to the ON position and try to crank your car, but the immobilizer will make sure the engine doesn't start. Although I think I should NOT have posted this information cause it just might influence more thieves, but I think its better to have you guys know it so you know what to watch out for.

I think some people call this the "master key" but its not even a "master" key, you can do it with any regular Accord/TL/CL key.

It wasn't straight up put in and turn to unlock, but there is a "method" to do it but I will not go into details for security purposes.
On the side note, he used the same key (his Accord key) to open a hatchback and drive off with it

I know other companies maybe have problems with people breaking in, but I've only seen this happen to Hondas from my own experience.
