Glad you got her back op. This thread also taught me what a faraday bag was. This isn't something we think about in the US.
Can't help but love our freedoms in the US with gun laws etc etc.... like others have said thieves will think twice here. My HK VP9 is sitting right next to the bed. |

And since armed citizens are usually more proficient (generally speaking) at firearms manipulation, a Good Samaritan will statistically be more likely to become victorious in a confrontation. It's much easier to confront someone unarmed when you are armed, but when on equal playing fields, the entire situation changes. As someone stated earlier, criminals need something fast and easy. An armed citizen is far from that.

This...... Faraday bag for your keys to prevent any signal leakage and no signal=no snooping. Those of us who work in security know all too well the risks associated with "convenience." Fact is most of the times technology comes with a trade-off. |

Some guns can be held legally in the U.K. I have a Mossberg and a few others, but if someone did manage to start my car and the exhaust woke me, I suspect the car would be moving by the time I got outside. So the dilemma would be do I shoot at my own car?

Please find the actual WW car theft rates data. It seems that some of you might be seriously surprised taking into consideration some comments about perceived security.

My BMW M2 Competition was stolen - See how (VIDEO)

Imagine filling in the insurance claim form - "as it was driven off, I shot at it".

Yeah, for the time being a bag is much cheaper than two new keys. I got rid of my F31 as soon as my dealer put it back together, just could never look at the car the same way. What BMW also needs to do is put a software lock on the navigation systems so they can't be swapped into other vehicles, 6 cars on my street all got stripped that night.

From a theft perspective sure it helps, but no need to put a cover on outside if you daily drive it. You'll prob scratch the paint putting it on and taking it off.

Takes like 2 minutes to actually install it. Best part is a thief will not bother.

These will help. Put the key in it and the signal is completely blocked. If your living situation doesn't allow to have the keys far enough away from potential hijackers this is much better than nothing!
