From what i heard, a lot of these new vehicles will have amazing features like locking themselves down after a certain amount of time and many other helpful tricks. But thieves are a learning bunch and they always figure a way to defeat security systems.
As stated in the video, there are Faraday cases to keep the FOB secured and for travel I would recommend a Faraday bag which is not as pretty or handy, but sure occupies less space and they do work.
Of course, the equipment investment means the thieves are after more than just the pocket change in the cup holder, and in the video where the owner comments the registration was stolen also, makes me think the burglars will be coming back for the very expensive car with probably fake registration and license plates
Don’t forget that taking the gun with you inside your house is a sure-proof method of not having it stolen from the car. What a concept!
Until americans get some brains you will continue to see this. Face it, americans are getting stupider by the second.
8 years ago, the Xbox 1 faceplanted when they said it would be “always on and listening, but wouldn’t transmit anything.” Now, every member of my family besides me buys microphones to listen to everything they say and store it indefinitely in Amazon’s servers.
Could not agree more. 100% correct. Americans, well… humans are getting stupider by the second.
Got a buddy who just bought a brand new car. He is so proud he paid a few $$$ extra to get the “old person” package. It has all the proximity sensors, back up camera, auto seat adjustments, auto-bluetooth, etc… What ever happened to checking blind spots? It is becoming a lost skill.
It isn’t until the tech/tools fail that people actually have to think for themselves. Used to be a time when people actually could think, but those days are pretty much over. “Alexa” has replaced actually learning something.
Just legalize
car theft‘self-directed automotive redistribution,’ and the problem goes away.Private ownership of gas guzzling, pollution spewing automobiles is so much privilege in one place. If all cars are owned by the state there would be no need to steal them. /sarc
This reminds me of the burglaries in England. Burglars used long-handled reachers to snag the door keys through the mail slot. Then pop through the door without loud noises and take what they want.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if people are home ’cause nobody has guns and self-defense is basically outlawed.
The age old battle of wits between crime and security.
(This did happen to my brother-in-law in London.)
Those Faraday things are ridiculously overpriced. A piece of aluminum foil will work at least as well. Alternatively, an Altoids tin or any other tin can with a metal lid, like the tin cans my tea comes in.
There’s physics … and then there’s style. You’re paying for the latter, not the former.
Yes, I am reminded of that every time I see a product from Monster Cable, never mind the even more audacious small outfits that are priced even higher. (gold plated fiber optic cable for $200 per meter, anyone?)
This is precisely the sort of thing I was making a comparison to on the lock picking lawyer video. You dont need to be smart, technical, or even understand how the technology works, all you have to do is be able to buy what someone else has figured out for you and is selling.
Tons of car breakins in my area like this. I wonder if it is a sign of the decay of democrat controlled locales or not.
Recently I also saw a story about a local dude who exited his home to investigate a bump in the night with revolver in hand due to all of tje car break ins we are having. He lost the call the police first game. The ne’er-do-wells called the police on him and claimed they were good church going boys threaded by a crazy man with a gun for no reason. Lost his permit and guns until he spent 1 year and $5000 to her the charges dropped and get them back. No castle doctrine or stand your ground here…
