INTRODUCTION

~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Hello and welcome to ANOTHER file by yours truely. I'm especially proud of
|
|
my wonderful ASCII art up there... Nothing had to be misspelled this time!
|
|
As with all my files, I have taken great care to test almost all the methods
|
|
described herein. I myself have been very successful at defrauding through
|
|
auto theft, and I feel that you show the initiative to do the same. How can
|
|
I tell this? Well, for one, you're reading my file, and since you're reading
|
|
this my guess is also that you are a criminal, so you to have the power. In
|
|
this peticular file, I pull some material out of the book "The Outlaw Papers"
|
|
by Lee Lapin and published through Palidan Press. If this has sparked your
|
|
intrest enough, but you want to know even more nuances of the trade, and
|
|
some of the old styles that no longer work, then DEFINANTLY get this book.
|
|
Now the objective of this file is for you not to get a car for free, but to
|
|
spend very little on getting a very expensive car. No matter how you do it
|
|
you'll have to at least spend SOME money, so don't say I didn't tell you.
|
|
Towards the end I cover some of the basics that apply to motorcycle theft, but
|
|
they are VERY similar and I hope you are smart enought to figure out in what
|
|
ways they are.
|
|
And, once again, it's time for my disclaimer: I Claim that all the herein
|
|
describes the illegal and immoral methods of the aforestated topic. Any
|
|
resemblence, applied or real, to any living or dead person is purely
|
|
coincidence, but if it occures, please leave me mail with his name, address,
|
|
DOB, SSN, Visa and MC Numbers, and any other pertainant information. I take
|
|
full responsibility for any illegal use found herein, but none of those found
|
|
hereout. Please do not continue unless you are breathing and have some
|
|
idea of what this file applies towards the herein title of the predescribed
|
|
person. Thank you for your time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A BASIC OVERVIEW ON THEFT IN GENERAL
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Hell, I've always like the idea of taking something from someone else if they
|
|
don't take the proper precautions... Survival of the fitesst, right? Well, this
|
|
won't get you on the good side of the judge, but who ever liked those goody-
|
|
goody's anyways. Auto Theft, like any crime, should be done as quickly and
|
|
quietly as possible... You should make sure you know all of the movements of
|
|
anyone or anything that could jepordise your mission, and plan for the anything
|
|
to happed, especially the worst. It never hurt to plan ahead! Make sure to
|
|
involve as few people as possible, and tell no one of what you're doing, the
|
|
more people who know, they more likely you'll get popped. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS
|
|
WEAR GLOVES. I cannot stress enough the importance of this, and also use 220
|
|
grit sandpaper and sand the fingertips of the gloves each time, they can match
|
|
glove leather patterns (they're just like fingerprints)!!! Most people don't
|
|
realize this, and it can be your downfall. Also, if the cops do somehow come
|
|
onto your trail, deny everything to the bitter end, cops are lying cheating
|
|
bastards, and most of them are more devious than even you (I think most of them
|
|
were criminals in their youth, and then decide they could commit crimes more
|
|
easily if they were pigs). The cop is your enemy and will do everything in
|
|
his power to intimidate and trick all the info he can out of you. GET A LAWYER
|
|
AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH -SHUT-. You'll get away with just about anything if you
|
|
just use your common sence and follow the above rule. Cops CANNOT make deals
|
|
(you should know this already, because EVERYBODY says it), so don't fall for
|
|
their bullshit. Like DRU says, KILL! KILL! KILL!
|
|
Theft is a very risky business, but as with all ciminal activities, it's very
|
|
fun and very profitable, in a very short time. That is why so many people out
|
|
there commit crimes. Now realize this, you have intelligence on your side,
|
|
which makes you a hell of a lot more dangerous than your average run-of-the-
|
|
mill criminals, who bairly can tie their own shoes. Use this knowledge and your
|
|
talent on the computer to the best of your abilities. One file that is old old
|
|
old, but is still sooo true (Tap Issue #86, or the Book of Bioc #1), and I
|
|
quote "V. IF THOU BE IN SCHOOL, STRIVE TO GET THIN SELF GOOD GRADES, FOR THE
|
|
AUTHORITIES WELL KNOW THAT SCHOLARS NEVER BREAK THE LAW." [The 10 Commandments]
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHY EVIL PEOPLE STEAL CARS
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Why do such evil scum people steal cars you ask? Well, there it's usually
|
|
one of four reasons...
|
|
|
|
TRANSPORTATION - In which case it's usually dumped after it's served some
|
|
short term function
|
|
PARTS - Meaning the car is striped and the parts are then sold
|
|
CONVERSION - Changing the numbers to match some other car, then
|
|
selling it to some poor chump
|
|
INSURANCE FRAUD - (Ya!) Taking the car with owners permission to not only
|
|
make money from parting it out, but the insurance claim
|
|
as well. Also known as 'Friendly Thefts'
|
|
|
|
For the most part, you'll probably be stealing them for conversion, or maybe
|
|
transportation, but parting a car out usually means you have alot of people
|
|
around town that will pay good money and ask very few questions. Also you
|
|
not only need the tools to take the car apart, but a place to do it, and then
|
|
a place to dump the frame and whatever else is unused.
|
|
|
|
|
|
GAINING ENTRY TO THE CAR
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
The Slim Jim is still the most common form of entry to cars. These can
|
|
either be madem, or purchased at any automobile or lock smith 'collector'
|
|
stores. Many of the newer cars are attempting to get around this by putting
|
|
a steal plate over the locking mechanism, but already there is a new slim
|
|
jim out that can get around this slight inconvienience. If you do decide
|
|
that you want to make one, there are lots of files out there that will tell
|
|
you how to make the older of the two, but it still will open around 80% of
|
|
the cars out there. Also, make sure to try it on a car that is the same
|
|
model beforehand, so you can get a hang of how to do it.
|
|
Lock picks can be used, but this seems to be a teadious way at best to
|
|
gain entry into the car. I know from experience that trying to pick a lock
|
|
can take anywhere from a minute to half an hour.
|
|
Another of the more useful ways is to purchase a ring of keys from a lock
|
|
smith, that covers a certain range and make of car, like Fords from 1980 to
|
|
1990. A ring usually includes 100 to 140 keys, and will open ANY car within
|
|
that range and make. The only disadvantage to this method is that it's a
|
|
bit of a hastle carring around soooo many damn keys, and it does take a while
|
|
to go through the ring and find the right one. This method has already been
|
|
defeated by the 1990+ year Chevrolets', which now include a chip on them,
|
|
and the car won't start without the properly coded chip... Here's the real
|
|
bitch of this, it cuts all power to the car under a failed attempt, and can
|
|
not be bypassed.
|
|
One new device is known as the Lemon Pop, and incorporates a piece of
|
|
plastic or venetian blind to slip inbetween the molding and the top of the
|
|
window on Mercedes, Porche's, or other push-button locking cars. A loop of
|
|
waxed dental floss is then looped around the post on the door and by yanking
|
|
on the dental floss it is simple to unlock the door.
|
|
|
|
|
|
AN OVERVIEW OF ALL THE TOOLS AND COSTS
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Ok, here is an overview of most of the tools you will want to get, along
|
|
with a general idea of the costs involved, plus their worth (rated on a scale
|
|
from 1 to 10, 10 being the best):
|
|
WORTH
|
|
ITEM DESCRIPTION PRICE CR/BK WHERE TO LOCATE
|
|
----+-----------------------+--------+-----+----------------------------------
|
|
(1) Manufacturer Key Rings $150-up 8/0 At dealership or locksmith comps.
|
|
(2) Slide Hammer $50-100 8/10 A car repair shop or tool shop.
|
|
(3) Slim Jim (Both Vers) $50-150 8/0 Most mailorder locksmiths.
|
|
(4) Lock Picks (Spec. Car) $200-up 5/5 Most mailorder locksmiths.
|
|
(5) Lemon Pop $10-down 6/0 Build it yourself, it's basic.
|
|
(6) Gloves (DON'T FORGET!) $25-up 10/10 Get a good pair!
|
|
(7) Drill/Special Bit $150-up 8/0 Most mailorder locksmiths.
|
|
(8) Liquid Freon $25-50 6/0 Any car supply store.
|
|
|
|
Ok, the WORTH CR/BK area means the worth for CARS and BIKES. The liquid Freon
|
|
is one thing I didn't touch on, but it's really simple. All you do is spray it
|
|
on those little mercury switches, and it will disable them for around 30 to 60
|
|
seconds, more then enough time to diable the alarm (also take into account the
|
|
+15 secs it takes to reset!).
|
|
One note on all the mailorder locksmith companies, almost NONE of them accept
|
|
Visa or MC, so forget about carding from them. They also will sell only to
|
|
locksmiths... "That sucks!" you say? Well, not really, since they have no way
|
|
to check if you really are what you say you are. Just rent a PO Box from a
|
|
place like Mailboxes, Etc and call it Jimbo's Lock Service, 1234 Generic Ln
|
|
Suite #120, Loserville, WY. They won't even think twice. Remember that picking
|
|
locks on cars is COMPLETELY different from picking normal home locks, so it's
|
|
usually wise to pick up books from these places to learn how (believe me, no
|
|
gfile is going to teach you shit unless it's like 100k and filled with nice
|
|
.GIF pics for you to refer to!).
|
|
|
|
|
|
STARTING THE CAR
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
There are lots of files about hotwiring cars already, so if you want to
|
|
learn how to do that, pick one of them up. I never was very good at that
|
|
anyways (I always got a fucking shock).
|
|
If you do decide to use the key-ring method of entry, you will have the
|
|
key to the ignition (they are the same), so then just slip it in and turn.
|
|
A real advantage to this also is later on this really fulfils the image that
|
|
you actually do own the car.
|
|
The only other way I know of is to buy a slide-hammer (or a dent-puller,
|
|
whatever you like to call it), and use it. First screw it into the key slot
|
|
and then slam it out. Take a screwdriver and turn the little explosed tri-
|
|
angle thing, and wala, the car starts.
|
|
Cars with locked steering columns can be defeated by one of a number of
|
|
devices on the market, like the SideKick. This incorporates a small drill
|
|
bit in order to drill into the core of the lock, and a device to then
|
|
extract the lock. Operation of this with a portable drill requires about
|
|
two minutes to remove the lock from the steering column.
|
|
|
|
|
|
DEFEATING CAR ALARMS
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Alarms are a kind of joke, they give the owner a great false sense of security
|
|
and they will do things normal drivers wouldn't (since the ASSUME the vehicle
|
|
is safe). And they will park them in very risky locations, and give you all
|
|
the opporunities you need. One note for people who live in cities like SF, or
|
|
any hilly city... Most alarms won't work on a hill, and will simply active,
|
|
but not take input from the sensors... An easy kill. Also, about 35% of the
|
|
alarms out there are fake, so if it's some wierd brand you've never encountered
|
|
before, or it says something like "WARNING: AUTO THEFT DEVICE", you can almost
|
|
always ignore these feeble attempts at security. Also look inside the vehicles
|
|
that do have real alarms to see if the LED is flashing... Alot of these losers
|
|
will buy the damn alarm and never arm it! Lot of good that is!
|
|
All alarms have some inherant weakness, the key to overcoming them is just
|
|
to find this and then exploit it as best you can. One of the most common
|
|
weaknesses in all alarms, except the more expensive, is a lack of an internal
|
|
power supply. What this means, is that if you cut the vehicle from the
|
|
battery, then follow the leads until you find where the alarm comes in and
|
|
disconnect it, you'll completely bypass it. Alot of the alarms on the
|
|
market protect the interior of the car, but not the hoop/engine area (like
|
|
the Clifford). Some do cover the entire vehicle, like the Viper or the
|
|
Clifford with the proximity sensor, but very few have the latter, and you
|
|
know when you run into a Viper.
|
|
One fatal weakness that almost everyone that has an alarm does is plaster
|
|
the name of the peticular model all over the car. They feel that this will
|
|
ward off any car theif... They would have spent their money more wisely on
|
|
stickers with the cross on them, and hoping God would protect the car. All
|
|
this does is help you overcome the alarm, by identifing what the maker is!
|
|
Once you know who makes it, all it takes is a little research at your local
|
|
car sterio dealership to find out it's weaknesses. I found it best to ask
|
|
the salesman what he has heard about other alarms, and that you're interested
|
|
in buying the Viper. He'll see the commission (shit, most of the time you
|
|
can practically see the dollar signs in their eyes) and spill all he knows
|
|
or has heard negative about every other system you bring up.
|
|
One slick little trick that works on some of the more expensive alarms (like
|
|
the Viper) is if you take a jack and lift the car about 1 1/2 - 2 feet off of
|
|
the ground it will disable the alarm (since it thinks it's getting towed, and
|
|
it would suck to go pick up your impounded car just to find your battery dead
|
|
because of the lame alarm). This is usually a very successful method.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (VIN's)
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Here's a little background on these numbers which all cars have. VIN
|
|
numbers traditionally were subject to the variances of the individual
|
|
manufacturers with regard to their makeup as well as the physical chars. of
|
|
the VIN plate. In 1978, the NHTSA (Nation Highway Traffic Safty Admin.) set
|
|
up rules to define a uniform standard for VIN numbers. The standard requires
|
|
a 17-character fixed format VIN, which contains an internal check digit to
|
|
verify the accuracy of the number.
|
|
VIN numbers are not only stamped into the metal plates, but embossed, making
|
|
it very difficult to forge. Modern VIN numbers are mounted on a plate that
|
|
corresponds exactly with the dashboard color of the car. As a further safe-
|
|
guard, all VIN's are mounted with special rivets. These vary from square,
|
|
to triangles, to hexagons in shape, but as a rule are not available to sell
|
|
to the general public. Almost all DMV employee's have a book called the
|
|
"Passenger Vehicle Identification Manual", which has high-glossy photos of
|
|
all the VIN plates, and notes on how to decrypt each specific manufatures.
|
|
This manual is sold ONLY to law enforcement personnel, and is worth QUITE
|
|
alot to any interested party (for obvious reasons). This book also contains
|
|
the hidden locations of the VIN's. In 1970, most vehicle manufacturers were
|
|
hiding the VIN numbers all over the cars. Some common locations are: on the
|
|
bottom of the ashtray, under the hood, under the trunk lid, in one or more
|
|
door panels, or underneath the dash. Besides the VIN numbers there is a
|
|
frame number stamped into the frame of the car, motor, and transmission,
|
|
which all cross-check with the origional VIN. Because VIN numbers are only
|
|
as good as they are inspected, many states require inspection only by law
|
|
enforcement personnel. See REGISTERING THE CAR for more information on this
|
|
aspect of VIN's.
|
|
One half-ass way of forging a VIN is to take a Dymo-labeler which embosses
|
|
numbers onto plastic tape, and then glueing it in the proper location. If
|
|
not placed under close scruteny, this method will usually pass the casual
|
|
observer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
VEHICLE CONVERSION
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
In most cases, what you do is swap the VIN and engine number with those
|
|
of an identical make/model that was wrecked. Ok, first off you go to a big
|
|
Auto wrecking yard, and ask for that specific make and model. Most good
|
|
places will have a part-line if they don't have it, and usually can get it
|
|
for you within 48 hours. Since it really doesn't matter what shape the car
|
|
is in, try to get the most trashed one you can (since it will most likely
|
|
be quite a bit cheaper). Then, when you take possesion of the frame and
|
|
whatever else remains, they give you the pink slip to the piece of trash.
|
|
In your hands you're holding the pink slip to the car you just stole. Now
|
|
go through the car and swap the VIN's with the numbers off of the other car.
|
|
If you're lucky, the other car will still have the origional VIN on the dash
|
|
and you can just cut it off and epoxy (don't glue it) to the dash. Make
|
|
sure to use a cooping saw of something like that in order to cur it, soas
|
|
not to damage the sides or the tops of the rivets. This is the most important
|
|
thing, because if you get pulled over, and for SOME reason (it's never has
|
|
happened to me (or at least not with cars)) they check the VIN's they will
|
|
only look at that one, and it will check out. Boom, you just scored a new
|
|
car.
|
|
|
|
|
|
LOCATING THE TARGET CAR
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Thereare many different ways in which to actually gain possession of the
|
|
car. You just have to see which one best suites you and what you hope to
|
|
accomplish.
|
|
One good method is to break into cars at airport long-term parking. These
|
|
cars are left by their owners, for a good period of time, usually enough for
|
|
you to do all the nessecary changes before the car even shows up as stolen
|
|
on the polices computer (since the guy has to come back and discover the car
|
|
gone before he can report it stolen).
|
|
Another good method is to look through the For Sale portion of the news-
|
|
paper, and pick whatever car you are specifically looking for, then schedule
|
|
a time when you can go look at the car. At this time you can evaluate the
|
|
security system (if any) on the car, and judge it's worth. Then, wait around
|
|
a week or two and then go steal it. Another advantage of this is you can get
|
|
an idea of the persons work schedule when you try to set up a time to meet.
|
|
You can also follow the person to see when the best time would be to make
|
|
an attempt on the car.
|
|
Used car dealership and new car dealerships sometimes leave the key to the
|
|
car in either the glove compartment, sun visor, or door-map thingy. If this
|
|
is the case, go look at the cars during the day, take the key, then return
|
|
several days later with the keys and take the car. Make sure to take a bolt-
|
|
cutter to cut the wire most dealerships put up across the wire. No reason
|
|
to wreck that nice new car yet.
|
|
One thing to always keep in mind is it's better to steal a car from as far
|
|
away as possible, this way if the owner is trucking around, he doesn't have
|
|
much of a chance seeing it. The last thing you want is Joe Owner running
|
|
down the street after you screaming "Hey! That's my car!".
|
|
|
|
|
|
REGISTERING THE CAR
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
After you have renumbered the VIN's on the car, it's time to get it
|
|
registered in whatever state you live in. Actually, you want to do this
|
|
step BEFORE you renumber the VIN's, so you know where it's located on the
|
|
vehicle. Enclosed below is a list of all the states and their peticular
|
|
registration requirements...
|
|
|
|
INSPECTION REQ. ON ALL CARS : Kansas, Maine (1975+), Mississippi,
|
|
Nevada
|
|
INSPECTION REQ. ON SELECT CASES -
|
|
First Time/New Cars Alaska, Arizona, Dist. of Columbia,
|
|
Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Wisconsin,
|
|
New Hampsire
|
|
Used Cars : Maryland, Massachusetts
|
|
Out-of-State Cars : California, Colorado, Conneticut,
|
|
Delaware, Hawaii (ya), New Mexico,
|
|
Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
|
|
Utah, Washington
|
|
From Non-Title States : Georgia
|
|
When discrepancies are noted: Michigan, New York
|
|
INSPECTION REQ. NO CONDITIONS : Arkansas, Minnesota, Rhode Island,
|
|
Wyoming
|
|
OWNER RESPONSIBLE FOR INSPECTION : New Jersey, Virgina
|
|
INSPECTION NOT REQUIRED : Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri,
|
|
Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina,
|
|
South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas,
|
|
Tennessee
|
|
NO INFORMATION LISTED ON INSPECT.: West Virginia
|
|
|
|
Now I know that in California (one of the hardest), when you take your car
|
|
in they do what's called a Vehicle Verification, and they have this nice
|
|
little paper they fill out. Now, registration is not the only time that
|
|
you need to get a VV done... Some insurance companies require you to go to
|
|
the DMV and get one as well. This is your key to forging whatever you want.
|
|
First go inside, and request some blank ones (get like 5), then leave and
|
|
drive your car over by where people take tests. Now wait for a DMV loser to
|
|
come out and check your vehicle. After they go through (take note of where
|
|
all the VIN's were located) get the VV and go home. Now you have a copy the
|
|
way it SHOULD be filled out, so just fill out one of the blanks with the
|
|
info you want and submit it, believe me, no questions will be asked at the
|
|
ever-busy DMV.
|
|
I personally would register it under a fake name, and then either sell it
|
|
to someone, or make a phony sale to your real identitiy, thus covering up
|
|
any trail that might have pointed to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SELLING THE CAR
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
You've pretty much overcame the hard part, and now it's all downhill. To
|
|
sell the car, simply put an add in the paper, and ask a price a little less
|
|
that the going rate, but not so low as to draw attention to it.
|
|
A new key-ignition and lock system can be purchased at your dealership for
|
|
around $100 or maybe a little more (depending on how messy you were). The
|
|
best way to do it usually is this: Use the 140-key keyring to find the proper
|
|
key. Make a copy of it (so as not to break your set), and then go down to
|
|
the dealership and buy a new key-ignition. This way you save a little money
|
|
and still have the key [Note: you do this when you used a slim jim to gain
|
|
entry, then a slide-hammer to start it]. Replacing the locks in the doors
|
|
and trunk can be a real bitch (well, the trunk isn't, but the doors sure as
|
|
hell are), so I usually try to avoid this drastic measure.

RENTAL CAR SCAM - NO TITLE STATES
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
In no title states, you can sell any car without having the actual pink
|
|
slip. The idea behind this is that the DMV will save alot of paperwork since
|
|
the car was already checked when it was purchased or brought into the state.
|
|
If you want to know if your peticular state is a no title or not, just call
|
|
the DMV and ask... Simple as that.
|
|
Anyways, one total scam is to go to a car rental place, and rent one under
|
|
a fake name. Then, remove all the stickers that say the name of the rental
|
|
place, and use Energine to remove the difference in color/paint below. Then
|
|
you take it to a used car dealership and sell it to them! They will check
|
|
with the NCIC to make sure the car isn't stole (which, of course, it won't
|
|
be because you just rented it), then take the check to a bank and cash it
|
|
under the same fake name. Even if your ID is a piece-of-shit, the used car
|
|
guy will call up and verify it, so it will go through. Then, in a week or
|
|
so the rental car place reports it stolen, and wham, the used car dealership
|
|
gets burned bigtime!

INSURANCE FRAUD AND YOU
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
This is usually done when you already own a car, stolen or real, and then
|
|
claim it was stolen, or was in a wreck to get the money from your local bend-
|
|
over-and-smile insurance company. The way I feel about insurance is this:
|
|
You put in tons of money to this worthless company to pay for your shit when
|
|
it gets ripped off, so why not use it to it's full advantage. The best way to
|
|
do insurance fraud is to find your local chop-shop and sell them your car, then
|
|
call the cops and report it stolen. Make sure you have ALL your facts straight
|
|
when you do this, because the cops will think somethings up if you aren't
|
|
careful, and then you're out the car AND the cash. One good point to this is
|
|
to make a dup of the key, then give it to the chop-shop, set up a time and a
|
|
spot for them to come pick up the car (like at a mall, at 2:00, when it is
|
|
totally busy), then when you're in the mall with your friends (witnesses) you
|
|
leave to find your car gone... Now who could possibly do such a terrible thing?
|
|
The key thing on this is to make sure you've had the insurance for some time,
|
|
and that you have it paid up, because believe me, they will drop you like a
|
|
hot potato. Insurance fraud is especially good with motorcycles, since they
|
|
are so easy to get rid of, and can be parted off so easily.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTES ON INSURANCE FRAUD
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Well, if you decide you like the idea of getting your car replaced by the
|
|
stupid insurance companies, heres a little info on how they classify insurance
|
|
reports. They break them up into four different categories: caused, intended,
|
|
staged, and paper (these are all fraudulant ways, there is of course the real
|
|
classification, when it really was stolen or whatever).
|
|
CAUSED - It's a sort of demolition derby, in which the participants ride
|
|
around in some piece of shit and look for well-insured victims
|
|
to collide with. Good victims are a bus, taxicab, or a new
|
|
expensive car. One excellent method of this is called the
|
|
'Swoop-and-Squat' method, in which two evil cars surround an
|
|
honest, upright citizen. Bad guy number two then swoops in frout
|
|
of bad guy number one, and he brakes suddenly (refered to as
|
|
squating). Bad guys number one breaking then causes our poor
|
|
victim to slam into the back of him... In any caused accident
|
|
there are usually several people riding in the car who all have
|
|
whiplash or brain damage or whatever so they all claim medical
|
|
injuries and scam the insurance for the cost plus loss of work,
|
|
The medical bills are then faked and submitted to the stupid
|
|
Insurance company, and you recieve a nice, fat check.
|
|
INTENDED - It's when two or more cars are used in a planned collision. All
|
|
of the participants are defrauders; and they usually use rental
|
|
cars in this scam.
|
|
STAGED - There is no real collision in this scam. The evil people set up
|
|
a fake wreck, complete with banged-up junkers, broken glass, dead
|
|
bodies, whatever, and take pictures as evidence to submit to the
|
|
insurance companies. These are usually discovered though, because
|
|
the same cars are used in many accidents and the investigator
|
|
might recognize one.
|
|
PAPER - Much like a variation of the Paper car technique of auto theft,
|
|
the paper insurance scam involves you creating a fake car in a
|
|
state that does not require an inspection of the vehicle. Then
|
|
after you pay insurance on the non-existant vehicle for two or
|
|
three months you report it stolen and get the money.
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSURANCE FRAUD INDICATORS
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Here's a list of insurance fraud indicators (taken from the book 'Money for
|
|
Nothing') which will hopefully help you in becoming less suspicious. Fraud
|
|
may be indicated when a claimant or insured is:
|
|
o Overly eager for a speady settlement.
|
|
o Unusually eager to take the blame for the accident.
|
|
o Exceptionally coversant (well versed) with insurance, medical, or vehicle
|
|
repair terminology.
|
|
o Insistent that the claimant caused the accident (The ICPI then suspects
|
|
that the insured is playing along with the ring of evil-do'ers who staged
|
|
the accident.
|
|
General elements that point indirectly to fraud are:
|
|
o A rental vehicle was involved in the accident.
|
|
o The vehicle in the claim contains three or more unrelated people when it
|
|
is struck.
|
|
o The police report was not made at the scene of the accident, or there
|
|
was no police report made (believe me, they do check).
|
|
o The accident happened soon after one or more of the vehicles involved
|
|
was registered and insured; or a month or less before the policy was due
|
|
to expire; or soon after insurance coverage was increased to include
|
|
comprehensive and collision.
|
|
o A post-office box or hotel is given as an address for one or more of the
|
|
claimants
|
|
o The claimant shows an active claim histore (meaning they have been in
|
|
one or more wrecks within the last five to ten years.
|
|
Property damage fraud or inflation may be indicated when:
|
|
o All of the vehicles involved in the accident are taken to the same shop
|
|
to be repaired.
|
|
o The accident is major, but there are no subjectively diagnosed injuries.
|
|
o The collision is minor, but the repair costs are high.
|
|
o Although the vehicle could not have been driven away from the scene of
|
|
the accident, according to the police record and the vehicle was not at
|
|
scene of the crime; with no towing fees.
|
|
o Bodyshop employee's or owner discourage an insurance appraiser from
|
|
looking at a vehicle involved in the accident.
|
|
Medical fraud may be suspected when:
|
|
o All medical injuries are those called subjective diagnosed, including
|
|
headaches, whiplash, and muscle spasms.
|
|
o The medical bills submitted are photocopies, especially third or fourth
|
|
generation.
|
|
o The collision is minor, but the injuries, especially subjectively
|
|
diagnosed injuries, are excessive.
|
|
o The medical bills submitted to not itemize office visits and treatments.
|
|
Lost earnings claims may be inflated when:
|
|
o The submitted employment information is from a small business, especially
|
|
a business with a post-office box as an address.
|
|
o When the business phone number given to the claim is called, it is an
|
|
answering machine or service.
|
|
o The claimant started the job just before the accident.
|
|
o The statement of lost earnings was not typed up on the company letterhead.
|
|
o The lost earnings statement has items which do not concur with elements
|
|
of the claim; for example, the income earned my not be appropriate to
|
|
the neighborhood listed.
|
|
|
|
This list is by no means complete, but it gives you a general idea of what is
|
|
going to make an investigator look twice. Be causious, since I know for a fact
|
|
that some insurance companies hire people to watch you 24 hours a day for
|
|
MONTHS! This may seem extreme, but realize this, one bust deters a hundred
|
|
people from attempting it (at least).
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE MOTORCYCLE AND THEFT
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
The methods which you employ when stealing a motorcycle are very similiar to
|
|
those of a car, except everything is alot simplier. Most motorcycles have VIN
|
|
numbers located under the seat, on the front of the bike between the forks, and
|
|
on a plate on the side of the frame (a sticker). Now I found the easies way
|
|
to renumber a bike is this, simply take the sticker off that is under the seat,
|
|
take the sticker off the side of the bike, and put the other bike's sticker on
|
|
over the VIN which is stamped on the frame between the forks. Then follow the
|
|
normale registration procedure.
|
|
Some of the advantages of motorcycles are the fact they are alot easier to
|
|
sell due to the fact of the lesser price tag, and the fact that if you get
|
|
chased a normal police car doesn't have a chance in hell of catching you. It
|
|
is also very easy to part out a bike on your own, without even dealing with a
|
|
middleman. Simply steal a bike that matches the same model as a pick that you
|
|
have, then any salvage shop will by the parts from you (as long as you can prove
|
|
you own that peticular model bike). You can easily sell the farings (the
|
|
plastic which cover the bike, for all you non-bike losers) for around $1000,
|
|
since they carry a value of $1500+! That's a pretty penny, and you've still
|
|
got TONS of parts left over to sell. Believe me, bike parts cost a fortune.
|
|
You can strip a bike completely, then sell the frame of any standard delta-
|
|
box bike (like the GSX-R's, FZR's, ZX-series, CBR's, etc) to your local re-
|
|
cycler, since it's all alluminum (worth around $100-150). Not only are you
|
|
helping your pocket, but the environment as well, and we all really give a
|
|
shit about the world.
|
|
Starting the bike is simple as well, except for '88 or earlier Suzuki GSXRs
|
|
since they have a seperate lock in the forks (why they discontinued this I'll
|
|
never know). All you need to do is one of the following:
|
|
|
|
o If the bike is locked, use a slidehammer, screw it into the ignition, slam
|
|
it out, put a screwdriver in the hole and turn to the right. This will
|
|
unlock and start the bike.
|
|
o If the bike is unlocked, force a screwdriver in the keyhole, and turn to
|
|
the right.
|
|
o If the bike is unlocked, and you buy a ignition system for this model,
|
|
disconnect the real ignition system, plug in yours and turn the key. The
|
|
leads should be right behind the instrument cluster and relatively easy
|
|
to gain access to...
|
|
|
|
Now the parts you would be smart to buy beforehand are the following:
|
|
|
|
o A new instrument cluster (price $150 and up). This will give the bike a
|
|
new mileage.
|
|
o A key ignition set (price $200 and up). This will replace all the locks
|
|
in the bike with new ones (which you have the key for).
|
|
o New farings (price $1400 and up). Sell the origional farings for the
|
|
same year different color scheme. Most bike manufacturers make 2 to 3
|
|
different color bikes.
|
|
o An instruction book on the specific bike (price $20 and up). These damn
|
|
books aren't cheap, but they will give you a good overview of the bikes
|
|
security, plus the location of the VIN's.
|
|
|
|
The biggest negative factor in stealing bike is this (just as your life was
|
|
getting easy): The also check the Motor Number when registering it. This is a
|
|
real bitch to change, and is usually easier to just forge the paperwork on. A
|
|
cop will never check this when you get pulled over (although they will sometimes
|
|
do spot checks on the VIN's). Wait at least two months before you try to sell
|
|
it (if you aren't going to part it out), believe me, all owners will recognize
|
|
their bikes and will be looking for them. Most people don't have insurance
|
|
that covers theft, so they're out of luck. Whatever you do, don't sand down
|
|
the faring and spray-paint it... Not only does this FUCK the value, but every
|
|
cop in the world knows thats what losers do when they steal bikes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ONE FINAL NOTE: THE LAW AND YOU
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
One little trick of the law with car theft is this. If they catch you in
|
|
the car, there is no way of conning your way out of it, so manipulate the
|
|
situation to your advantage. Tell them you just bought the car, and if they
|
|
ask to see the bill of sale, ALWAYS have one ready ahead of time. They can't
|
|
through you in jail for being stupid, and you really have no way of checking
|
|
to see if the car is stolen until you actually go to the DMV. In a worst
|
|
case scenerio this will get you a Possesion of a Stolen Vehicle charge, or
|
|
maybe a Joyriding (depending on the length of time the car is gone), but
|
|
either of these is ALOT better than Grand Theft Auto.
|
|
Remember that like all crimes, your age (specifically if under 18) is your
|
|
free get-out-of-jail card. No matter how many mistakes you make they still
|
|
will only slap your wrist (and don't give me that shit that juvenile hall is
|
|
hell, because it's not). Steal, Lie, and Cheat as much as you can, while you
|
|
still can, and you'll live a much happier life.
|
|
Chop shops are frowned upon heavily by the law, and if at all possible try
|
|
to give as little of your true identity away to these individuals. They are
|
|
the real high-risk takers, since if the cops hit something, they tend to hit
|
|
the big operations (which almost always revolve around a chop shop). Also keep
|
|
in mind that the police do also set up traps off and on, if there is enough of
|
|
a problem, and that the trap will be in the form of a chop shop.
|
|
Also, one reason not to include others in when busted (roughly translated,
|
|
why not to narc) is the fact that they with punish you twice as much if they
|
|
have any proof that it was some sort of auto theft ring (and the police consider
|
|
a ring to consist of two or more peope). So don't be lame, keep your mouth
|
|
shut.

|
|
I hope this file helps you in all your most illegal exploits, and I hope
|
|
to see you on America's Most Wanted, or Unsolved Mysteries... Here's a
|
|
wierd question for you, Just what kind of a show is Unsolved Mysteries? I
|
|
always thought it was supposed to be like a 'Project: Blue Book' type show,
|
|
talking about wierd occurances, but ever time I watch that stupid fucking
|
|
show I see something around how Grandma got frauded by some love-swindler
|
|
and now he's on the loose... What a joke! Wanna-be show!
|
|
I'm always interested in new scams, or to hear of your experiences with any
|
|
of the methods described within any of my files, so just get in touch with me.
|
|
I also appreciate any ideas anyone can give me on other avenues of fraud to
|
|
research (I love hacking as well, but there just isn't any money in it!)
|
|
Anyways, enough of that, now for the ever-present greetings... The White
