Default Gotta love how the crims are tech savvy

They don't need to break in anymore to steal your keys,, clever really, so now they only get done for stealing the car if caught and not the burglary as well.

I can see a market for foil lined boxes by the front door to drop your keys into.

If they are determined to get your car they will just kick your door in and take the keys by force. I had rather they just took the car out the driveway.

Still one of the best visible deterrents, and none of these techno thiefs are going to be carrying a hard to conceal hacksaw on them.

Always use one on my FG when parked, great backup to the perimeter alarm.

Makes a great weapon of self defence in a car jacking or road rage attack also, when kept in the locked position riding shotgun on the front seat.
