Something about this just feels like bee ess.
It isn’t, unfortunately.
The thieves record the signals from fobs in the parking lot, then follow the vehicle to another location and use the recorded signal to gain access.
Supposed to be used on very high dollar vehicles.
“Something about this just feels like bee ess.”
It is BS. The article: “Don’t leave your key fob in an area near the front door,” said Armbruster. “When you’re at home, store your car keys or fob in a metal cabinet or with some sort of device that protects the radio signal from being intercepted.”
Key fobs DO NOT continuously transmit signal, and the article claims they do.
It's real, as far as I know, and happening in Central Virginia as well. The Po-Po's here are warning folks about it, and there's even a video from one of our neighborhoods of a car's lights blinking as the thief (without a key fob) approaches the car. The victim said something like, "It's as if he has a key fob to my car."
