Car Theft & the WAINK App
Stealing cars is reworked around security tiers. Scan a car with the WAINK phone app, then pick the right tool: a slim jim for older cars, a key cloner for newer ones.
What we know
The WAINK phone app scans a car for its value, registration cost, lock, alarm and tracker.1
ReportedOlder cars need a slim jim; newer ones need a key cloner, which you unlock through the story.12
ReportedOccupied cars can still be carjacked, and damaged cars sell for less.1
ReportedSome cars carry GPS trackers that alert police if you drive too slowly.1
