There's a reason the FBI switched to 40's. And no, I wouldn't want to stand in front of a 9mm either. But my personal safety preferences and those of a bleeding-out, but still alive and armed felon my vary.

Do you have a spare FOB? IF so, immediately do the "Long Method" and reprogram the FOB. That will totally eliminate your stolen FOB from communicating with your car. If you do NOT have a spare, BUY ONE and then do the reprogramming. When you do the long method, the 1st FOB you put in the slot becomes the #1 FOB no matter WHAT the case lettering on the FOB says. You can add a FOB with the short method later if you need a #2 FOB.

I am sorry to hear this ... and i am glad you are OK.
never leave home without my glock and my derringer, they wont even realize you are pulling it out and you would've already shot them fools down. when u think your life is in danger, just shoot, even if its a kid - your life is first.

This was the Woodlands Watch message from MCSO:
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office is investigating two incidents that occurred in the early morning hours on July 29, 2011.
On July 29, 2011, at approximately 5 a.m., two male contractors for AT&T reported that they were repairing cable inside a box truck in the area of Grogan's Mill Rd. and Sawdust Rd. around 4:15 a.m. when two suspects with bandanas covering their faces entered the truck and pointed handguns at them. The suspects took the victim's cell phones, keys and wallets and one victim was punched in the face. The suspects fled in a midsized silver SUV. The victims said that one suspect was a Hispanic male and the other was a black male.
The same morning around 4:40 a.m. a 57 year old male reported that as he was retrieving a gym bag from inside his vehicle in the 24 Hour Fitness parking lot on Lake Woodlands Dr. in The Woodlands, two black males dressed in black clothing and ski masks approached him. One suspect had a handgun and forced the victim to lie on the ground. The suspects took the victim's wallet, cell phone and gym bag and left in an older model passenger car driving away west on Lake Woodlands Dr.
No suspects have been identified or arrested in either case.

I know what you are saying. I moved to a nice place to get away from that stuff and now it is getting closer to my front door.
You also have to be extra careful early in the morning and late at night, thats when the cockroaches come out.

I'll be screwed anyway since I drive a company car and work at a D.O.T. regulated facility, but at leat those reporting to corporate offices will likely be able to put theirs in their car.

I moved to The Woodlands in 1990 and saw the 1st McDonald's built. Even today, crime in the neighborhoods tends to involve building crews. Its just too difficult for most "visitors" to figure out where they are. No landmarks and everything circles around on itself. The great places up front, sitting right on the interstate, are too inviting. A place like 24 Hr Fitness, by definition should have a security guard or an off-duty deputy. A lot of folks kick-start their days at a health club. What happened here is not my idea of a way to boost your adrenalin.
Re the new law, one of the drafters referred to it as, "a parking lot law". You can carry in your car and leave it locked in your car. No provision for anything else unless your company ok's it. No company cars, including rentals and lease vehicles. It is actually a fairly well crafted law with a fair amount of language re where liabilities do and do not exist. Pretty much removes ambiguity for a company inclined to complain.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- Residents in The Woodlands were advised to be on alert after two armed robberies happened within minutes of each other.
Montgomery County sheriff's deputies said two contractors for AT&T reported that two men attacked them while they were repairing fiber optic cable inside a box in the area of Grogan's Mill Drive and Sawdust Road about 4:15 a.m. Friday.
The men had bandannas covering their faces and were armed with guns, investigators said.
Detectives said the men stole the contractors' cellphones, keys and wallets and punched one of the victims in the face before fleeing in a midsized silver SUV.
A short time later, a 57-year-old man reported that two men attacked him in the parking lot of the 24 Hour Fitness on Lake Woodlands Parkway, deputies said.
The man said his attackers were armed, dressed in all black clothing and wore ski masks, detectives said.
Investigators said the men took the victim's wallet, cellphone and gym bag before fleeing in an older-model passenger car.
