Stop the Thief<br />
Over the last few months news<br />
reports have highlighted the<br />
risks of stealing keyless cars.<br />
Thieves have used technology<br />
to bypass entry systems on<br />
these cars for many years, but<br />
manufacturers continue to<br />
develop keyless cars. Although<br />
most cars are affected Which?<br />
highlighted Ford, Volkswagen<br />
and Nissan models at most risk.<br />
While the Society of Motor<br />
Manufacturers and Traders<br />
believe new cars are more<br />
secure than ever, cheap<br />
electronic technology used to<br />
steal cars can be bought on line.<br />
The fob just needs to be within<br />
a certain distance of the car for<br />
the thief to trick, unlock and start<br />
the car. It can take less than 60<br />
seconds and for safety reasons<br />
the car won’t cut out when the<br />
key is out of range.<br />
Take action<br />
• Lock the car and keep your keys<br />
away from door and windows.<br />
• Keep the key in a metal tin to<br />
block signals<br />
• Find out if you can switch the<br />
key’s signal off.<br />
