Porch pirate Bronco driver

[Calm horse]

I'm guessing it's a ford salesman at the local ford dealer..not selling many broncos so he's out trying to make ends meet on his lunch break.

Leaves the door ajar to avoid the double honk.

Pretty easy to pick out the vehicle. Brilliant individual.

Gotta pay for that ADM some how or another !

If he is lucky it is a colon cancer screening test... May need it now that he is on video.

Well that would be a VERY large sample....

Anyone noticing a trend with these white Bronco people? Just saying.

I see adam1991 is now banned but I agree in some sense about the .gov having unchecked access to this info but is it any better a private company does and you can't compel them to disclose what they have on file for you?

We've seen Tesla use their vision system to double as a security system and arrests from that subsequent data. If we can agree the .gov shouldn't have limitless access or a back door, should an individual with a police report and for argument sake, a MAC address from a Ford modem that pinged off your router the same date and time when this happened, be able to request a VIN for that vehicle if available? It's really no difference than if someone walked through a Walmart parking lot getting VINs and plate numbers. With those two pieces of info and paid search, there's a ton of info available that can pretty much ID the registered owner.

My point is a good chunk of evidence is already there and with a police report, pics, dates and maybe a MAC address, is it reasonable to think Ford should have a way to get this data. What if it was a homicide or terrorism case and all of the same data was available. Should Ford be compelled or would this be a sufficient threshold we could agree the .gov has the standing to ask for it?

Very slippery slope but the closer we get to our data being nothing more than something for companies to exploit for profit or bad actors to use for their entertainment or extortion, the less any shits are given about the "victim" or concern for seeking justice. Not all crimes carry the same weight but the less emphasis that is put on these sorts of crimes, the more it's going to keep happening.

People have stolen shit from us for decades and almost none of them have been caught. I have a particular problem with thieves and the type of personality and psychopathy it takes to give no f's about other humans, only themselves and their self centered needs. These people are to me, complete shit bags.

I'm pretty sure the vehicle's wifi radio doesn't try and associate with networks you haven't told it to. So unless the driver went into the wifi configuration and tapped on the SSID of this homeowner's wifi just prior to deciding to rip them off, AND they had logging set to a level to record that attempt then maybe, just maybe, you'd have a MAC address recorded somewhere.

That being said, yeah, the manufacturer will know exactly what the MAC address of the two wifi radios in the Broncos are.

All class, spitting in the mailbox. Hope they catch this one.

I wonder if the police would check the DNA sample he was nice enough to leave behind? Hell, I’d pay for the test…

Yes, but a wifi sniffer would certainly detect the Bronco's WiFi broadcast. Probably would be able to get the MAC address from that traffic.

Bronco owners are all scumbags.

At least my porch pirate danced for the camera!

One day this parasitic clown is going to do his little dance in front of the wrong person, or on the wrong porch, and find out he's not as tough as he thinks he is.

I would make it my mission in life to find that dirtbag!!!!!

 

[broncobase1]

It seems weird a thief would pull up in the driveway.

And do what exactly?

 

[totaljustice]

I would help him understand the error of his ways.
