Thankfully I still need to insert the key and push the clutch in to start my car. #savethemanuals

Buy any box you want, buy pouches, line box with pouches. Done??

Line a box with a copper mesh. That should do it.

Signal jacking = using two devices to significantly extend the range of the key fob. If your keys are kept close to the door, one person goes to the door and detects and then transmits the signal from the fob to the other device, which is being held by a person standing next to your car. Open door. Push button and turn on car. Drive away without breaking anything, breaking into the house to get the keys.....etc...

My ski buddy has had his Lexus 470 stolen three times from his driveway in the last 18 months.
I am a terrible friend. I send him Russian kidnapper notes in that broken newspaper print.
Don't use this link https://www.fontspace.com/category/kidnap to not send them a note.

On what to do? Put your car in the garage. Get rid of the crap in there. It's for your car, not your broken lawn furniture.
Is your car insured? Who cares. It's a car. Better they take the car, than go into your house looking for the keys.

I had a situation at the dealer. I wanted to drop the car off for service with the keyless fob. I wanted them to lock the FOB in the car.
And I would pick up the serviced car with the other key fob. But you can't lock the key fob in the car. You can if you have a faraday puch, per LexVan.
Or what worked for me. Aluminum foil blocked my signal. Made my own pouch. My dealer now uses my story in their new cars sales demo. Try it.

If your storing the car just take the battery out of the remote.

Theyre stealing Range Rovers up here every day. My Pal had 2 Chryslers opened up like that too.

We had some SS cookie tins we weren't using anymore - the kind that nest one inside each other. One of them is about 4 inches in diameter and 6 inches tall. Form fitting lid. We keep the fobs in it overnight.

I tried taking the container with the fob inside out right next to my car. The car could not sense the fob being nearby and the door would not unlock. I figure that's good enough.

Also don't keep keys by the front door. Thieves know this and break into houses to simply steal keys (followed by car in driveway) and purses (credit card and ID) from front doors. Faraday pouches won't help with this simple theft.

Thieves don't enter a bedroom looking for keys. That's where jewelry is kept and other valuables like cash, gold etc. Mostly the master bedroom. They almost always go there first if it's a general B&E and usually during the day when typically nobody is home. Keys at door are overnight when cars are home and people are typically asleep.

Most thieves aren't looking for confrontation and prolonged visits.

I think I've mentioned on one of your threads before. Google CPTED and follow it.
