Another anti theft option...pop the hood and unplug something. You can get a dme plug off in seconds. Guaranteed they won't think of this when the car doesn't start.

Could always go old school and have some kind of hidden manual fuel pump cutoff switch, they wouldn’t get very far away!

sounds like the dealership was the main culprit stealing from that owner.

Yes, if you have comfort access they can get in and start it if your key isn't in a Faraday pouch. |

There has to be some camera footage you would think. Also they aren't just randomly picking houses to break into to get the keys to high-end vehicles. They must have followed the drivers back to their residences. it would behoove people to be aware of suspicious activity such as a car following you for miles and miles.

I had this happen to me once when I was in Lake Tahoe. Someone followed me and my buddies from a casino a couple miles up a winding road in the middle of no where to our rental. Luckily I was driving and noticed so after I did a 2nd loop around a block they took off into the night |

Police caught someone trying to (unsuccessfully) steal parts off my old Lexus ISF.
In the thief's car was binoculars, a police scanner, tools of the trade and a few stolen airbags. I was definitely being surveilled by the thief. Car was always garaged, except for 1 week where I needed to use garage for construction materials. Dude hit on day 3 of my car being parked in driveway.. |

I use this larger faraday box to toss keys and stuff in rather than a pouch: https://www.amazon.com/KENARK-Protec...ef_=ast_sto_dp
Originally had a pouch and then a smaller box that had a clasp but found that we never used them since they were a bit of a pain to use day in and day out. The one linked above was big enough for 2 people to use and since it closes magnetically, is super-easy to open and close with one hand. Doesn't look bad either. |

Update:
They found my neighbor’s X3MC a couple days ago in Totawa NJ. It was crashed , abondoned in a ditch with an old FL plates with heavy weed smell, wine bottles and an Amazon mask of all things. They also tinted the windshield. We were 95% certain it was in a container on the Atlantic somewhere. Was it used to deliver packages by a stoner Amazon delivery guy(sarcasm)? Who knows at this point. By the way, owner got paid by his insurance and waiting on his new MBB X5MC to arrive soon.

We keep all of the keys in my household in one of these boxes
Passed my test of bringing the box with my fob right up to the door and the Comfort Access not activating when trying to open the door Sad state of affairs here in the tri-state area where criminals are empowered by a complete refusal to prosecute crimes

The more theft that gets claimed on insurance the more premiums go up and the less that ends up getting covered, it's honestly all a racket. Weird state of things we all live in now, consequences for real crime seem to continually lower in ramification. |
