Comparison of urban hybrids - which is the best?

A few weeks ago, it got loud about the theft of cars using the "gameboy" method.An electronic device is used for it in a GameBoy -like housing, which is able to break the car access code usually sent by the key and save it in your memory to allow the engine to start efficiently or re -opening the door.Because the device breaks the factory security of specific car models, the only effective way is to install additional protection - an immobilizer or a system cutting off fuel supply or ignition.

Through the OBD socket

Not every access system can be easily broken.The maneuvering field becomes much larger when the thieves get inside the car and can connect the service interface to the OBD socket.This allows you to start the engine or "train" the car key.To make it difficult or preventing the theft of a vehicle, you can mount an unless immobilizer.The installation of a mechanical lock on the OBD connector is a simpler solution.Some also try to hide this nest or change its pins in places, which disturbs communication or burns the device connected to it.

For a suitcase

Cleepless access systems facilitate motorized life, but facilitate the theft of the vehicle.Using two signal relays (so -called.suitcases) thieves are able to "convince" the electronics of the vehicle that its owner is standing right next to the door handle.Just pull it and the locks open.To capture the signal, one of the suitcases must be at a short distance from the key.Therefore, he should not stick to the door from the house.The chance to capture the signal can be minimized by keeping the key in a special case, installing an additional security system (e.g..activating the key after knocking on the pocket twice) or turning off the function of non -exclusive access.At home, just keep the key in a metal can that will absorb the signal.

For the theft of keys

One of the simpler ways to get a car is to steal the keys to it.To carry out such an operation, a pickpocket is needed, which will be able to steal the keys from the pockets of the pants, jacket, handbag or backpack.Theft of keys makes it easier to hold them right at the entrance door to the house - unfortunately, there are no cases where thieves check that the door of subsequent apartments on the cage is not open.If they find such, without unnecessary noise, they steal everything within the reach of their hands.You can defend yourself against the theft.An additional protection may be pinning the key.At home, let's not hold the key right at the door and put it in a not very obvious place (the cabinet by the door does not belong ...).

For a bump

One of the easiest ways to force the driver to leave your vehicle is to cause a bump - so small that the car of an interesting thieves does not suffer serious damage.There is a good chance that the driver quickly getting out of his vehicle will forget to turn off the engine or at least leave the key in the ignition.This opens the path to amateurs of someone else's property to easily misappropriation.

For a fault

Thieves can lead the driver to leave the vehicle quickly by informing him about the driver's invisible defect from the place.Loading for the appropriation of a vehicle can also take another form - a person asking for help on the road.In both cases, the risk of theft can be reduced by turning off the engine, taking the key and closing the car, which will prevent the possible theft of small items from the cabin.

On Kolec

Piercing the tire and the loss of air in cars without Runflat tires forces you to stop and replace the wheel or use a repair kit.Many drivers focus on the problem in such a situation - they get off in a hurry, without turning off the engine or taking the key from the vehicle.Thieves know this perfectly well.If they want to steal a specific car, they put an object under its circle that will damage the tire.When the driver gets out of the vehicle, they get behind the wheel and leave.Unfortunately, obtaining compensation when we cannot show a set of keys will rather fail ...

For a bottle

An alternative to theft on Kolec.Instead of an object damaging the tire, thieves put an object between the wheel arch and the tire, which will cause a large amount of disturbing noise driver - e.g..plastic bottle.Amateurs of someone else's property hope that the driver getting off in a hurry will forget to turn off the engine and forbid the key.To gain as much time as possible to get behind the wheel, thieves put a bottle over the right rear wheel.

Wire

A wire can also be used to produce noise, which thieves usually put in a circle.When the disturbing sounds cut the driver, the vehicle may be stolen.Like the above two methods, also "wire" can also be used to facilitate the theft of a handbag located on the passenger seat.

For a tow truck

Tow trucks carry motorized help.Unfortunately, it happens that they are used for crimes.And with quite a "good" effect - although the process is complicated and time consuming.Why?Hardly anyone expects if he will try to intervene when seeing a car charged on a tow truck.In fact, this can happen in a situation where someone sees an attempt to drive their neighbor, friend or family member.Car theft of a sailing method requires preparation.Lovers of someone else's property can observe the use of the vehicle to determine, the most convenient time to tow away the vehicle.
