Just got my kizashi top model awd less than a week ago. It got broken into today, but the windoe wasnt broken, the door wasnt scratched. Nothing. Wondering how they got the door open. The dealer said i probably accidently pressed unlock when i was in the house. But when i went to my car this morning, the key fob was flashing red when i tried to lock it. And when i pressed unlock it was beeping. So im 100% sure i locked my car.

Is there a glitch in the system? I tried yanking the door open after i locked it, and it didnt beep at all.

Did they leave the window open? Had the same thing happen with a Chrysler rental in Houston. They left a window open in the rain. Somehow, they got access through that window. Tried to steal the bolted down Hertz proprietary GPS system, broke a $2 cord and got nothing else.

No, I didn't leave anything open, all the windows were closed.

I'm just wondering if there's some way around it, like some sort of magnetic thing they can use, radio frequency to open it. Just really surprised that they got into the car.

And this one has a response quote from Suzuki - maybe they could get in but could not drive it away. http://news.drive.com.au/drive/motor-ne ... 19yux.html
