How long do you think it will be before it becomes common knowledge among car thieves that they can obtain the code anonymously (sp?) with the click of a mouse?

It seems to be a real disservice to all owners.
I don't have a radio code for my 2002 ML320. So, are you suggesting that I should drive 75+ miles with my car to the dealer to provide ownership proof before I can get my code for a radio I can buy at the junkyard for $100 with the code? Forums are about helping people. Sorry you feel that someone is threatening your theft security by posting codes.
