Theft for a suitcase - secure your car

Car theft is a very profitable occupation.The car "Passed" from the driver's home can be taken to the eastern border, but you can also dismantle it on the spot and sold with considerable profit.No wonder that a lot of money attracts thieves.This problem suffered Poles especially in the 90s and 2000, then for years the number of stolen cars was constantly falling-modern security and increasingly complicated vehicle electronics effectively discouraged thieves from action.Until now.

Theft for a suitcase - what's going on?

Today, most new cars are equipped with a non -boundless door opening system, which means that we do not need to use a regular key, you can hold the remote control in your pocket or in a purse, and the car will automatically read the key signal and open the door, e.g..After grabbing the handle.This is a great convenience for a driver, and for a thief - a great chance to quickly take over our vehicle.

Theft is currently very popular among criminals by the "for a suitcase" method - using the advanced (and very expensive) device for capturing the keyless key system signal (it looks like a suitcase).And basically two, because two thieves are needed for this method of stealing a car.In this way, the cars are stolen from the house - the first thief sets up at the car, and the second tries to capture the signal from the key, approaching the door and windows of the house, i.e. places in the area where the driver could put the key.

When the suitcase finds a signal from the key, he automatically takes over and sends it (extends) to the first suitcase, which the thief holds by the car - then he pulls the handle and gets into the car, and then immediately starts the engine, also use the intercepted key signal.Without breaking the windows, drilling locks, without any trace left behind, they leave the car in even 30 seconds.All systems in the car "think" that the car has been opened and started with an original key, so nothing prevents the thief to go towards the horizon.

Driver's face, when in the morning he looks at the empty driveway at the house - probably priceless for the thief.Interesting - the invention of this method meant that today almost only new or almost new cars are stolen, i.e. cars of considerable value.

Theft for a suitcase - how to secure a car?

Standard methods, i.e. serial security (e.g..Autoaalarmy) do not constitute an obstacle for the thief, because the auto alarm will not work when a signal from the original key is used to open the car, while serial immobilizers are well known to thieves - they know where serial security is installed and they are easily turned off, and when it is a problem they use the problemfrom the so -called.scanner, i.e. arranging the search for electronic security components.Such protection is good because it extends the theft surgery, so he can scare the thief, but today they are well prepared for such a situation (and equipped).

Are there other methods that will help in making life of the thief?Yes, although each of them has its pros and cons.We certainly do not recommend a solution promoted on automotive forums, i.e. holding a closed key in a metal can/casket, which is to make the key signal not get out of such a box.Many tests confirm that the effectiveness of this solution is questionable, in addition, the driver must remember to place the key in the can and its closure, and this can be troublesome and after a few days/weeks the driver will stop using it regularly.Let's arrange the rest, leaving the safety of an expensive car (we remind - new and almost new cars are stealing today) "in the hands of the metal box for several dozen zlotys does not sound like a reasonable solution.
