How are Vehicles Stolen?
Back in the day, robbers would use a slim jim to slip along a car window to unlock a car. After that, it could take them a couple of minutes to hot wire the car. However, things have changed. Nowadays, the technology that makes our lives easier can also make a robber’s ability to start a car quicker.
With the Covid crisis, manufacturing, parts, and vehicles have become more valuable. Additionally, people are working from home more often, which leads to more vehicles being left out. All robbers need, nowadays, is a simple electronic device that locates the electronic signal sent by your key. This device works like a repeater and allows the robber to unlock your car without you noticing it. No alarms go off, and nothing happens. It is as if the robber has your key in their hands.
