Has anyone seen the issues with smart entry technology that have been appearing in the press recently, where thieves use a device to amplify the signal from your key stored in your house to relay the signal to the car to open it? Or they use the same device to "read" your key as you walk away from parking the vehicle and someone opens it as soon as you're out of sight.
Anyone had a car or contents stolen this way?
See details in this report:-

The only remedy I can see to guard against this is to place your key when not in use in a RFID protection pouch to ensure the signal is blocked. This works well, if you wrap the key in kitchen foil the car won't open even with the key right next to the door.
