I got a renewal credit card last year with a chip. My former one didn’t.

The chip one is supposed to be more secure, but is also more susceptible to having the data stolen by some independent technological device.

I was happy with the old one. Now, I have to keep the new one in a foil wrap — and worry about the moments and distance when placing it into the card reader.

Not an issue when you drive a 2003 F-250 with 235,000 miles on it.

They are going to steal my 12 year old car?

Using the "code" they got from the fob that only works about a quarter of the time and only when you are right next to the car?

Don't think this is really high on my worries list.

Everyone make sure you’re nice and terrified of your new technology.

If you have a keyless start fob, a safe portable tin container is available on Amazon. Search for (Aluminium Cosmetic Container Silver). I use something similar that I purchased from EBAY. I put some felt inside the can to lessen rattle noise. Make sure you buy the can with the screwable lid. BTW, I am a retired EMC Engineer with much experience with RFI, etc.

My Suburban has a Viper 5706V system. I highly recommend it for vehicle security.
