Next door neighbor had his car stolen last night/early morning. From arriving to driving off 12 seconds!! They used one of those key signal gizmo’s that electronically activates your key signal from outside, which turned off the alarm and unlocked the door. I wish they hadn’t gotten rid of the old rotor arm system, no rotor arm... your going nowhere.

Where do you buy these ‘key gizmos’? Might come in handy for me, I can never find my bloody key

I had mine stolen last year. Not a nice feeling. Only had the car about a month.

Do the thieves record the signal that your own key emits somehow or just stop your car system from being active? Do they then need a key or is it done via keyless cars?

I'm a bit against contactless cards, as huge losses in multiples of £30 could be run up

good for you!

My dad always said if he woke in the night to find someone in the house or trying to steal his car they’d find themselves on the wrong end of his 12 bore. These days I doubt he’d hit them if he tried as it’s so long since he went shooting

If men come out naked with guns I may take up car theft
