Does it show where they get their code card templates from?

Any decent printer could knock up the code cards in no time. Its not like they are watermarked or anything special.

It's a shame tools like that have to exist at all, but I guess its a case of supply and demand isn't it?

Indeed. There was a guy posted on the Octavia II forum about a month ago had his car broken into and Columbus stolen. As long as people keep buying 'bargain' second hand units then this trade will keep going. At the end of the day we all pay for it through higher insurance premiums.
