Canada has a car theft epidemic. Here are simple ways to protect your vehicle from being stolen
Experts break down simple methods to thwart most car thieves, as Canada stares down a staggering auto theft epidemic.
According to Wade, the simplest thing you can do is keep your key fob as far away from the front door, back door and garage as possible: “The deeper they are in the house, the less likely (thieves) are to steal your signal,” he said.
As technology improves, however, this method will become progressively less reliable, Gast said. He advised checking your vehicle manual — some manufacturers include an off switch on the fob able to shut off its wireless signals when not in use.
If this isn’t available, he and Wade agreed one of your best options is to store the key within a metal container or signal-blocking Faraday bag. Alternatively, less expensive RFID pouches with signal-blocking metal mesh lining are commonly available.
“I would just suggest people do some good research, because not all Faraday pouches are created the same,” Gast said; some being advertised have “low to nil” effectiveness.
