we will see how funny he thinks it is when i steel his car in the middle of the night
I have a spare set of keys to his pride and joy

Are you sure they are his car keys?

Shorty.

Yeh hes gettin old and asked me to look after em hes going to wish he never gave them to me hehe

I think this alleged urban myth appeared on A Current Affair.

I typed in my pin number yesterday and the local copper turned up in ten seconds, amazing and true! (He also wanted to use the ATM )

Here's a quick security number story for y'all: We worked in a building which was installed with a keypad to arm or otherwise the alarm system.

Our boss was very on for this new security feature.

I said to him; "I can get in using your security code."
He said; "absolute bullsh1t, no one knows my number."

I typed in his number and armed the alarm system and locked the doors.

He was flabbergasted.

Moral to the story: Never use your birthday dates as a PIN!
2nd April 1951 was his birthday. = 2451, piece of cake!

And we also did his 'top secret' briefcase after that. 123 456

I'm still laughing, he was a real case.

His two partners also had their birthday dates as security PINs.

Hello testing!

ACA & TT are urban myths aren't they Quiggers?
They have covered anything resembling 'current affairs' since Willisee came on half cut

It could be even harder than that to guess his pin number. As it could even be a 6 digit number.

You're right there Fen. When I was an editor on these programmes, it was wall to wall politicians, and some pretty interesting, hard and confrontational stuff, but not anymore... they just do silly crap these days.

Well the myths propogate because people keep spreading them,
i could go into the logistics of atms etc, but think about it, if they were back to vkg( thats for NSW) linked , which they are not, why do so many get stolen.
Then theirs the entering of the wrong pin number,
Too many variables on this one. Busted

bet your pappy is still laughing because you told the world.

being a former field engineer who specialised in fixing ATMS i can confidently say this is not true. Similar to the urban myth of someone robbing an ATM through the shutter assembly into the safe cash area.

As for vandalism...well i have a few good ones on that and NONE of them even got near the cash despite all of their attempts.
