Chapter 6 Spy things If you need to transfer the contents of the cache to another location, use a car. In many cases, hiding something in a car is better than hiding something on yourself or in things. Firstly, there are a large number of empty cavities in the car to accommodate the hiding place, which are invisible to others. Secondly, almost all cars are equipped with alarms, anti-theft devices, and the most expensive ones are equipped with tracking and search navigation systems. These devices and systems reliably protect the car from theft, and therefore the contents of the cache. In this case, the cache can be made in advance, and used for its intended purpose only if necessary. In this case, during stops, it is advisable to park the car in paid parking lots, where reliable security is carried out. A modern car is a rather complex electronic-mechanical vehicle. It consists of a huge variety of mechanical components, blocks, assemblies and electronic systems that control them, which even a car service professional, not to mention inspection specialists, sometimes cannot always determine the purpose of an element right away. This provides many opportunities for hiding places in a modern car. Let's consider some of them. Simple caches are not difficult to make, but reliable equipment will require special tools and attachments. Car caches are great for a hasty inspection, but none of them can stand up to a professional car search. Let's look at the car from the point of view of the cache device. 6.1. Caches on the chassis of the car The chassis of the car, as a rule, consists of elements of an I-section. In some cars, such as the Citroen 2CV, several tubular elements are also attached to the chassis. Attaching something to the chassis is easiest and most convenient with a box with a magnet. In such a box, a spare key is sometimes stored behind the bumper. But this is one of the most unreliable methods, since the box can be noticed even with a cursory examination of the bottom using a special search mirror. Only a large layer of dirt on the bottom of the car will help to hide it, which can be applied artificially using a can of anti-corrosion primer for the bottom of the car, which is sold at any auto supply store. Spray the underside of the car, covering the hanging box with a solid layer, and drive the car on a dusty road. A layer of dirt will build up very quickly. Hiding anything inside the frame element will require cutting and welding. This is where cold bluing comes in handy, which will dull the shine of the weld and mask scratches. This blue is sold in gun shops. It must be applied with a cotton swab. The result will not keep you waiting. A layer of oil or primer will complete the masking. A simple and crude method is to attach the concealed item to the top of the muffler. This can be done with wire or strong aluminum tape. From above it must be covered with mud, natural or artificially made. This is where the difficulty comes in. If you applied a layer of primer or any other substance containing petroleum products to the muffler, then when the muffler warms up, a stream of smoke will follow you along the road. Don't even try to attach anything to the catalytic converter - it gets even hotter. Better to use a gas tank. You can either stick it behind it, or arrange a secret compartment in the tank itself. A lot depends on the amount of stuff you need to hide. A simple and quick way to use a gas tank is to place an object in a narrow cylinder and lower it down the filler pipe to the first elbow. If you are not far away and you don’t have to refuel on the road, this method is quite convenient. Of course, you need to think about whether gasoline vapors are harmful to the object hidden in this way. You can sleep the gas tank from the car, cut it and arrange a secret compartment inside. However, this is a complex and hard work that requires certain skills and qualifications. If you need a large stash, it's easier to empty the gas tank altogether and use it all as a hidden compartment. Install another, small gas tank under the seat, and take the gas line away from it. Hiding something under the wheel covers is such an old trick that you can’t fool anyone with it. The same can be said about tires. These two places will be looked at first when checking. 6.2. Caches in pipelines and other structures There are so many car models out there, and each one has its own emission control device, so it's impossible to remember the location of the parts in each of them (in this case, we are talking about foreign-made cars). This makes it possible to install fake pipelines, hoses, cables, tanks, etc. under the hood or under the car body. The main difficulty here is to find a suitable place. There are only two rules to remember. Each element must come out from somewhere and lead somewhere, or at least appear to be attached to something. Second - it must have an "automobile" look. Car parts are made in a certain style, which is different for different brands. The extra element that you installed should be combined with the rest but in color and finish. Everything must be in harmony with each other. The only exception is if the car is old and it has a lot of spare parts from other manufacturers. However, older brands have fewer emission control devices. There are several ways to install extra parts. One of them is to attach the part with a wire to something. A de-energized clamp on the fuse box is suitable. If you are sure that the wire that comes from the fake part is well insulated and will not close the entire circuit to the case, you can connect the wire to the live clamp as well. You can also attach a fake part with a hose. Existing flexible conduits can be used for this. Cut the hose at a convenient location and insert a tee connector. Attach a piece of hose to the tee leading to the fake part. Be sure to close it with a plug at one end so as not to create fluid leaks from the existing system. Emission control devices and other post-purchase enhancements create a wealth of opportunities to build hiding places under the hood and under the body of the vehicle. It's better to buy and install a few legitimate extras yourself to give the impression that all the space is filled under the hood. When inspecting a car, if you are asked to explain the purpose of any part, do not even try to answer. Just shrug your shoulders, shake your head and say, "I guess the exhaust adjusts or something...". Another way is to make cavities in the working parts under the hood. It is possible to arrange a hiding place in the accumulator, but it is difficult. It is better to remove the devices to reduce the toxicity of exhaust gases and remove all the stuffing from them. When you put them back in place, don't forget to coat them with a layer of oil and dirt to mask any traces of work. The engine will work normally without these devices. In truth, it will work even better. Customs officers will hunt for contraband, not toxic fumes, and will not notice that the device is not working. 6.3. Caches in the car A good place to quickly hide a small item is an ashtray. From a piece of metal, you can make a false bottom in an ashtray and arrange a hiding place there. It is only necessary to remember that the material must withstand heat. In addition, the false bottom should look like it was used. If you don't smoke, borrow a few cigarette butts and a handful of ashes from a friend, or raid someone's garbage can. If you need to do this urgently, go to some cafe with a plastic bag and empty a few ashtrays into it. Small items can be hidden in the sun visor. To do this, you just need to open the seam and take out a part of the stuffing so that your item goes in there and does not stick out from the outside. Now sew up the seam again, and you have a small but fairly reliable hiding place. The cavity behind the dashboard can fit a lot, and it's not such an obvious place. The hoses and pipes of a heater or air conditioner are quite safe storage for small items, especially if the weather is moderate and neither needs to be turned on. It is worth carefully examining the dashboard. In most cases, it is hollow inside, and if you take out one or two devices, you will see an empty space under them. There can fit a lot of small items between the wires. Remove the inner lining of the glove box ("glove compartment") and see what's behind it. On some vehicles, this trim slides forward easily. As a rule, there are not many wires and tubes behind it, since the instruments and the radio are on the other side. It is worth remembering the gear lever and its handle: by removing the handle, you can drill a narrow cylindrical cavity in the lever, which will include, for example, 0,22 caliber cartridges or several precious stones. In almost all cars, the junction of the gear lever with the gearbox is closed with a rubber or plastic boot. It is easy to remove it and put under it what you want to hide. The handbrake lever is usually made of stamped steel and is hollow inside. You can put small items in it. The armrests of the seats have a large volume, there is enough space inside them to build a hiding place. You may have to remove the door panels to get to the screws that hold them on. This doubles the reliability. Suppose you hid something in the armrest; someone who searches a car will remove the door panel, make sure there is nothing behind it, and perhaps stop there and not unscrew the armrests. The seats in the car are upholstered, under which you can sometimes climb, for example, from below. It happens that the foam rubber on the backs of the seats is covered with a separate panel at the back. If it is easily unscrewed, then it is not difficult to hide something under it. For greater reliability, it is better to put covers on top. A lot of things can be hidden under a floor mat, even if the car is cheap and the mats are thin rubber. You can specially buy a set of thick fluffy rugs, then you can hide between the layers. To hide very small objects, you can remove the rubber pads from the brake, accelerator and clutch pedals. They are usually difficult to remove and put on, so they may not look under them during a search. 6.4. Caches in the body of the car You can make good hiding places under the wings, but not just screw an object or attach it with a magnet. If you have auto repair experience, it is better to put an additional panel under the rear fender, where you need less room for wheel movement. This is a semi-permanent stash, and what you hide must be of great enough value to justify the labor you put in. Between the space under the wing and the passenger compartment there is a narrow internal channel. These channels are sometimes so narrow and dark that you can just throw a small object into them. To make access difficult, small cover panels can be made for the channels and painted so that they appear to be part of the case. A "cosmetic" layer of dirt will complete the work. If the car has a vinyl roof, the "killed roof" method will work. Remove the vinyl first. The adhesive can usually be dissolved using a thinner recommended by the manufacturer. Then use a heavy object to make a few shallow indentations in the metal of the roof. Make sure that they are not too deep and do not deform the lining inside the car. On the back of the vinyl, apply a thin layer of fiberglass with epoxy to hold the shape of the roof, and reattach the vinyl to the car's roof. Although such a hiding place will have to work hard, it is quite reliable. More convenient access to the space under the roof can be obtained by removing the inner lining of the ceiling. If you do this carefully, the cache will turn out to be quite reliable. But if the searcher goes so far as to remove the headlining, he will see dents in the roof. In this case, using thin sheet metal, you can make a solid, even surface. 6.5. Cache and vehicle protection 6.5.1. Automotive security devices Security devices include remotely controlled car alarms, which are a set of some devices, devices and accessories. Alarms are installed on the car and together protect your self-propelled property, and therefore your hiding place. The following most basic elements of the signaling can be distinguished. First of all, these are alarm remote control key fobs. The key fob is a miniature radio transmitter. It is equipped with one or more control buttons, by pressing which the driver turns the alarm on and off and controls many of its other functions. The keychain easily fits in the palm of your hand, weighs only a few grams, so it will not be burdensome even in a trouser or jacket pocket, especially in a ladies' or men's handbag. The key fob is powered by a 6 or 12 V battery. The range is most often small - up to Yum. However, there are alarms that can be controlled from a distance of 100 m. Unfortunately, the key fob is sensitive to radio interference, which is more than enough in large cities, near airports. In these places, the range of the key fob is reduced. And vice versa, outside the city, in the absence of powerful radio transmitting devices, its range increases. The main signaling unit is a small box, inside which there is an electronic circuit of varying degrees of complexity. By analogy with a computer, it is also called a central or processor. And this is not an exaggeration. The electronic circuitry is the brain of the alarm. It receives signals from the key fob and sensors, analyzes them and turns on or off the corresponding devices and alarm devices. The main unit is placed in the passenger compartment, sometimes in the siren housing. The third component of the alarm set is sensors. These are small devices that are installed in the protected areas of the car. They control the opening of doors, hood, trunk, movement in the cabin, voltage changes in the car's on-board network, etc. Some sensors can be placed in the main alarm unit or in the siren, others - separately, on their own. The alarm kit includes an LED indicator that informs the driver and others that the car is guarded, as well as about some alarm modes. The alarm service keys are designed to completely turn off the alarm in the event that the car is returned for repair or if it is suspected that the alarm is junk and disrupts the operation of the engine. The siren is not a mandatory attribute of the alarm. However, recently it has been increasingly included in the kit, since it consumes much less electricity, and it sounds much more powerful than a car signal. In addition, the siren has its own power supply, which greatly enhances the security of the car. Place it under the hood, in a hard-to-reach place. The alarm kit also includes wires, relays, installation elements, etc. The alarm is connected to the car battery, but in armed mode it consumes little power. The possibilities of signaling are extremely wide. We list only the most basic ones:
Not all types of alarms perform these functions. More simple and, accordingly, cheaper ones do not have protection against robbery, are poorly protected from neutralization, and have a very modest set of service functions. More complex modern types duplicate the protection of protected areas, are reliably protected from any attempts to turn off, and listing their service capabilities will take a lot of time. 6.5.2. Anti-theft marking of cars In June 1996, the Moscow Traffic Police Administration approved instructions for using the LITEX additional marking system for vehicles. At the same time, a colorful "Catalogue of operational and technical means of the State traffic inspectorate" was released, published by the Research Center of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, where among metal detectors, flashing lights, bulletproof vests and other ultra-modern equipment, a whole page was devoted to the LITEX vehicle marking system. The system of additional marking of vehicles (ATS) has become widespread since the mid-80s in Europe and the USA. The system is a set of measures aimed at preventing the theft of vehicles and increasing the efficiency of operational-search activities. B, the system is based on the application of an alphanumeric code to the individual components of the vehicle, as a rule, repeating the last 8 characters of the vehicle identification number. The system combines two methods of marking - sandblasting or milling car parts made of glass, and marking with a special composition containing luminophores on interior elements of the car. In the first case, the marking is observed visually without the help of special devices, in the second case, the use of an ultraviolet lamp is required to detect it. In fact, the process of applying additional marking to a vehicle is just the first stage of a set of measures designed to ensure the safety of the car. The fact is that for each car, a specially developed documentation containing basic data about the car, its owner and additional markings is started. This information, after appropriate processing, is entered into a computer database (register), as a rule, combined with databases of vehicles available to the traffic police, in order to use them in carrying out operational-search activities. The LITEX network of enterprises, which today includes more than 100 organizations of various forms of ownership, is united not only by one trademark, but also by a single database of marked vehicles. The activities of LITEX regional representative offices, as well as the parent company, are regulated by relevant agreements with the Internal Affairs Directorate of the territories, regions and cities, on the territory of which the work is practically carried out. The control room of the LITEX information center is regularly contacted not only by car owners, but also by employees of the State traffic inspectorate, the criminal investigation department, insurance companies, whose duties include searching for, identifying vehicles, identifying their owners, etc. Cases of detection of stolen cars with the help of marking and its identification have become not uncommon. This year, LITEX started to create a network of interregional information centers, with the help of which the management of the company and its representative offices in the regions plans to increase the level of operational interaction with internal affairs bodies, processing information about additionally marked automatic telephone exchanges and, ultimately, the efficiency of the system as a whole. 6.5.3. Car search navigation systems Due to the difficult economic situation of the country and insufficient funding for navigation support services, domestic space systems for determining the coordinates of various consumers have faded into the background. This was certainly taken advantage of by foreign firms, among which fierce competition unfolded for mastering the Russian market. There are now more than 10 different companies on the market using the latest advances in navigation - Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Consider products (search and tracking systems for cars) of leading companies in the field of navigation, such as Lo Jack, ATX, Car Cop and Rockwell / ADT. The products of these companies are gradually beginning to be used not only in large fleets, but also installed on cars of an individual user. Car search engine "Lo Jack" Recently, safety and search navigation systems, which use cellular communications and global positioning systems (GPS) technology, have become a separate new direction in automotive electronics. They not only attract those who want to look at these marvels of technology, but also reduce insurance costs and provide a quick search for a stolen car. The first car search systems "Lo Jack" and "Aic Touch Teletrac" appeared on the Russian market. The most actively developing in Russia is the "Lo Jack" system, which allows you to very quickly find a stolen car. The essence of the method is that a radio transmitter installed in a stolen car transmits alarm radio signals, and silence patrols and traffic police posts equipped with receivers determine the direction and signal strength, find the transmitter and therefore the stolen car. This system is quite reliable and has proven itself well in Russia. However, it has several disadvantages. Firstly, it is the impossibility of timely obtaining information about the hijacking attempt. The owner of the car can discover the loss the next day or even later. During this time, the car may already be far from the place of theft. Secondly, the impossibility of obtaining the exact coordinates of the stolen car Currently, car search systems continue to develop. They begin to use the latest achievements in the field of navigation and information technology Vehicle search system "On-Guard" AXT Research Inc. of San Antonio in October 1995 introduced a personal safety and vehicle search system called "On-Guard". The system uses cellular communication and GPS technology to protect the car owner from theft, theft and other crimes. In addition, it provides positioning functions, as well as additional services, such as a reminder of a left key in the ignition or a car headlights left on. The "On-Guard" system is designed to provide consumers who will not be stopped by the price of its acquisition In addition to a car cell phone, the system includes a system unit (in a durable aluminum case) that contains a GPS receiver and a cellular modem. phone, as well as a hidden GPS antenna located in the car The device is connected in such a way that the driver can immediately contact the emergency response center using a cell phone. which can be used by the driver in need of immediate assistance When installing the "On-Guard" system in the car, the driver must two hundred using a cell phone a secret access code that will allow you to use the car without triggering the security systems and search. If the code has not been entered and the system has detected unauthorized use of the vehicle, an alarm will be sent to the Rapid Response Center. The response center is equipped with a computer system that allows you to display the current position of the vehicle, its speed, direction of movement, as well as additional information about the vehicle and the status of the alarm system. Based on this data, the response center employees make a decision. For example, if the car is moving at normal speed, the alarm system did not work, then perhaps the driver simply forgot to enter the code. Then they will call him in the car and ask him to enter the code combination. If the car is moving fast or the emergency button has been pressed, the response center notifies the nearest road inspection points and the owner of the car about the theft. After that, measures are taken to detain the violator: stopping the engine, turning on the alarm and blocking the door locks. The On-Guard system, in addition to security, also performs the functions of a navigator The driver can contact the response center, where he will be explained in detail how to get to the right place The On-Guard system can work in conjunction with an anti-theft alarm inputs. Thus, when an alarm is triggered, the response center will be able to determine whether the alarm is false or peg. The On-Guard system must be installed by a company certified technician. In addition to the Mobile Electronics Certification Program (MECP), ATX also has its own certification program, which requires certain tests to be passed. Car search system "Car Cop" Another example of a car search navigation system is MSC's "Car Cop" system. The "Car Cop" device includes an alarm and a navigation system based on GPS technology. The company's response center also receives information about the current state of the car and attempts to unauthorized use it. The car system "Car Cop" (Fig. 6.13) includes a cellular antenna, a Nokia LX12 cell phone, a transceiver unit (black module) and a GPS antenna (white module). The system also has anti-seizure protection, which works even if the offender takes the driver hostage and requires the alarm system to be turned off. The driver dials a conditional code, after which the response center immediately notifies the appropriate services and begins tracking the car. Rockwell/ADT vehicle search engine Another direction in the development of such car search systems is the use of packet data transmission over a radio channel instead of cellular communication. A few words about such a system Automotive Division of Rockwell Int Corp of Troy/Michigan) developed the hardware and ADT Security Systems developed the software for the "Rockwell/ADT" packet data search system This system is currently in the final stages of testing and will be available to customers at the end of 1997 The system will be available as an option for vehicles, and Rockwell has not yet made a final decision on system installation. The product uses two antennas, one is indoor and the other is outdoor GPS antenna. The outdoor antenna is used to communicate with the control center using packet data transmission technology. In addition, the system includes two more blocks. The central unit is installed in a secluded area of the vehicle, while the operator interface unit is located in the cab. The car owner turns on the system by pressing one of the three buttons on the interface unit. The system then sends a message to the ADT control center with the coordinates, incident type and vehicle description. The transmission of a message to the center is confirmed by a signal of the LED indicator and a voice message The control center staff notifies the traffic inspectorate or other services of the coordinates of the moving vehicle. Coordinates can be transmitted every 20 seconds, so that the traffic police is able to take active measures to search for a stolen car.
