Intelligence shows organised crime gangs are using relay technology to receive the signal from a key inside a house and transfer it to a portable device, allowing them to unlock and drive the car.
Merseyside Police produced this excellent video which for one minute of your time is a must watch to show how criminals can steal a car in just 30 seconds and what you can do to protect against keyless car theft.
Tips for keyless car owners include:
- Investing in a Faraday Bag/signal blocking case for keys. They block the signal from the fob, are relatively inexpensive – costing as little as around £5 - and are widely available online.
- Contact your dealer and check if your vehicle has any outstanding software updates, which may improve security
- Check if the keyless fob can be turned off/on, your dealer can confirm and advise how to do this
- Be vigilant, and report any suspicious activity in your neighbourhood to the police

Exactly the reason that I won't have a keyless car. Apart from the fact that they are totally unnecessary.
