🚗 Keyless Car Theft: Quick Tips to Stay Protected 🔐 Keyless car theft, also known as Relay theft, is where the signal from a key for a Keyless entry car is captured by somebody standing outside the victim’s house using a device. This signal is then relayed to someone else who is standing next to your car and has a second device that fools the car into thinking the key is near it, allowing the doors to be opened and ignition to be started. Here’s how to fight back and prevent your car from being stolen: 👜 Hide & Block: Keep keys out of sight, out of reach and away from doors and windows. Consider keeping them in a Faraday pouch to block signals.📴 Switch Off: Wireless signals on some keyless fobs can be switched off. Look in your cars manual to see if you can do this.🔒 Lock It Up: Use Sold Secure-approved steering, pedal, or gear locks.📍 Track It: Fit a tracker to help recover your car if it is stolen.🛠️ Check Tech: Most modern cars are fitted with alarms and immobilisers as standard, check with your manufacturer to make sure your car is as secure as it can be.🔑 Reprogram: Reprogram your keys if you’ve bought a second-hand car.🚪 Park Smart: Use your garage if you have one, a Master Locksmith Association approved company will be able to provide advice on keeping your garage secure.💡 Light & Watch: If you park on your driveway consider fitting outdoor motion detector lighting and CCTV cameras. Stay alert. Share the tips. Stop the thieves.
