RyanBrantley | 12 years ago | on: Police admit they're 'stumped' by mystery car thefts

How about the possibility that the thieves have simply purchased replacement remotes from eBay (or similar), and programmed them when they had access to a compatible vehicle? Maybe the thieves work at a car wash, valet or have organized a larger network of goons (think credit card skimming).

Programming a replacement remote is a simple procedure, requiring only a few moments in the vehicle with the key present... like when parking a car. Paired with an easily accessible address (registration?), you have a crime ready to take place.

This would confirm why multiple vehicles in the same driveway were targeted. Families use the same service providers. It could also make sense of why the "device" occasionally did not work. Maybe they got the remotes / addresses mixed up, the programming did not take or their mule is selling them unprogrammed remotes.

I think this is more logical of a solution considering the facts. Any thoughts?

I built this out of my own needs late last year. It has helped me save (and make) a measurable amount of money trading. After showing a few people, it seems that there is a demand for a passive stock monitoring service like such. With this feedback, I decided to continue building the product into a consumer friendly version now known as SymbolStalker.

I am now looking for some early beta users who want to be a better trader with less effort. I am also looking for feedback about the product & concept as a whole.

Nice site!

Here is something I threw together. Maybe you can try a split test?

The problem I had when I visited your site was I could not quite understand what the product was about. I was not convinced enough to provide my email and expect a positive result.

Use the video to tell us what you are building, what it does (will do) and/or how awesome the team building it is. Bring the product to life!

Hope that helps some!

You have no content at all. You need content which is accessible to the user and search engine before logging in.

Use this tool to see what the search spider see's. http://www.domaintools.com/seo-browser/ There's not much there.

You may want to start by searching for the basics of SEO, maybe a 'beginners checklist' of sorts. It will most likely prove very handy. Focus on your on-page factors first, as those are the ones which you can directly control. Here is a suggestion or two so you can get started...
