Put your keys in a small emf sleeve when youre in your house if you park outside. If theres no frequency to extend, your car cant be unlocked or started.

You want to stop this, we need harsh penalties for theives. Mandatory 10 period, goodbye. And put a secondary gps in your car if its worth it. 5 bucks a month insurance

Asking Car Manufacturers about Car Thefts seems a bit odd. Better data is gathered by the Police and it is consolidated and categorized better by Insurance Companies who have actuaries to track that data to determine insurance rates by Make, Model, and City.

All this expensive, trouble prone anti-theft crap and then they tell you to get a Club. Stupid thieves carjack you, smart thieves push a few buttons. Either way your car is gone. Get a 1995 vehicle with a stick shift.

I live in Northeast Indiana and my car I bought a year ago and I swear on goodness gravy life that they have hijacked my car as far as fucked with it at night time and erased codes and cuz the car is a piece of shit nobody would want
And in this state it's all a game and everybody sticks together cuz nobody wants to tell on the next 14 ripping off the warranty and not putting any of the parts on your car so you cards even worse off now that it was or who do you go to
