Remember
•Make sure your car is properly locked and keep keys away from doors and windows. This will reduce the chance of criminals amplifying the signal.
•Some keys have a function allowing them to be turned off. Check your manual to see if yours does and then use it.
•Use some kind of physical barrier such as a steering wheel lock, driveway parking post or a wheel clamp. This will deter many criminals.
•Fit a tracking device.
•Keep your keys in a Faraday bag to block the signal or a metal/foil lined box or container to block the signal.
•Remove batteries from your spare keys.
And remember, be on the lookout for people acting suspiciously and report it by calling 999.
