Keyless Cars

An interesting report on BBC 1 News this morning about the increase in the theft of keyless cars for export as a whole or for older cars, export of spares.
Now I've joined the folk who unfortunately own one of these silly cars where a key is not a key it piqued my interest especially as a caravan owner. When camping, whether a keyless car owner or otherwise, apparently our cars are all worth "nicking" and if all that stands between your car's "new owner" and you is a flimsy lock on an Eriba........................I rest my case.
In our case we will shortly have to use the open driveway of a relative to park up and sleep in our Eriba for several days so Faraday bag or not, I still feel at risk.

Put a Disklok on the steering wheel, they don't want anything that complicates the job and slows them down.

What goes around comes around Pedro.
French people used to laugh their socks off 30 years ago at we Brits when they saw steering wheel clamps of control pedal clamps on our cars.
Oh, dear, whai is the World coming to?

You'll be fine Roger. Those bags are up to the job.
When I looked at a Volvo XC40 a few months ago I raised my concerns about keyless entry and camping. Things have moved on and I was told when you put the keys down, or they remain stationary for 30 seconds then the car locks automatically.

Maybe you can disable the keyless entry if you're worried about it.

Most of their cars are not worth nicking though and they probably still have the same car now

What a palaver. Nobody has convinced me as to why having a keyless key is better than having a key that you stick in a slot. I've just read that the Mini has an innovative idea and now has rechargable keyless keys. You stick it in a slot in the dashboard. T'riffic.
