It sounds unbelievable — but yes, thieves really can steal a car without the keys.
With most modern vehicles now using keyless entry systems, your key fob constantly sends out a wireless signal that your car recognises when you’re nearby.
Criminals use signal-boosting devices to copy or “relay” that signal from outside your home, tricking your car into thinking the key is right next to it. Once the car unlocks, it can be started and driven away in seconds — often without any damage or noise.
The good news? It’s very easy to stop.
Simply block the signal when your keys aren’t in use. A Faraday pouch or box contains a special lining that stops the signal completely, keeping your car invisible to thieves.
So while the crime is real, the solution is simple.
Store your keys safely and test your pouch every few months to make sure it’s still working — small habits that give you big peace of mind.
