I remember a while back seeing a story from SE Asia about cops finding a guy walking along the road clutching a bleeding hand. Turned out thieves had robbed him off his car, which had a fingerprint reader so they'd taken a finger with the car.

Found the article: https://www.theregister.com/2005/04/04/fingerprint_merc_chop...

That's why I never use biometric autentication. After seing movies where the bad guys took the guy's eye to do a retina scan, you can imagine.
