How safe is your car?

[Levo-Lon]

My car is a keyless entry so you dont need any physical locks..
The crooks always find a way!!

I have the opposite problem. My car usually says the key isn't in the car even when it is!

Safe enough for a £700 car. The effort and risk required to half inch it would outweigh any benefit Johnny Lightfingers would get from actually stealing it.

How safe is my car,depends who is driving.Me or Mrs P.

 

[Lonestar]

Safe enough in the showroom.

Perhaps this heralds the return of the Crooklock?

Surely keeping the card/keyless key in a small Faraday cage would be a much better option than a steering lock. Wander if the ones to protect rfid / contactless cards would work?

Perhaps even a foil wrapped box while in the house ?
I wont be going back to a steering wheel lock even tho they are great discouragement devices for road rage nobbers

Yep that would probably work (would need to experiment with it and see if it still unlocks car or not). The advice of police it particularly crap, if the thieves are high tech enough to be using relay boxes to clown the car's key, I somehow doubt a steering clamp will slow them down much!

Might just mean the battery in the fob is getting low.
