A new type of theft!

Seems nothing is safe any more? I think we need stricter identity checks in the UK. No wonder the cost of goods is increasing. Interesting article. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj41jd0krkro

Interesting snippet on the keyless car theft is that increasingly the thieves can also block trackers that have been fitted.

The problem is all the people that buy on price - whether it's "a bloke down the pub" or an internet auction site - too many people can't get their head round the simple principle that if it's cheap it's either sub-standard or stolen.

Keyless cars were a solution to a problem that didn't exist - I'm glad I stuck to principles and specified NOT to have keyless on my then new car - but that's often not an option on new cars now.

My new car is keyless entry but i always put my keys after use in a faraday pouch so it should block a signal

Sadly it seems that is no longer as effective as it used to be? Quality is at the forefront to prevent leakage, but the one thing that I did not know is that they should be changed regularly as apparently the "seal" can break down after awhile so be careful. Are your spare keys also in a Faraday pouch? Mine are in a Faraday pouch which is in a tin and at the rear of the home.
