To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door, because they’re breaking into your home to steal your car. They don’t want anything else.

    Our car got stolen last year, the Hamilton police said “call your insurance company.”

    It took the guy 5 min from opening the door to driving away and as far as I know the only technical part is that they use some hardware to relay the key fob signals. They relay the keyless/proximity unlock signal to get in, then they pair a new fob to the car using the manufactures method. Normally that requires all other paired fobs to be present at the same time BUT they are relaying those signals so the “security” there is bypassed.

    The icing on the cake is that the cops didn’t even bother to cruise by the next night as the neighbour’s car got stolen as well.
