How Do Modern Cars Get Stolen?

Ever wondered what methods thieves use to steal modern cars? Here's a quick rundown on how they do it, and how you can prevent it.

I've got the ignition bomb installed on my car from Los Santos Customs. Ain't know one driving away in my car.

I think the manufacturers should be making more secure systems to prevent this kind of thing. Honestly it seems ridiculously easy to steal a keyless entry car, you don't even have to damage it.

Push start attracts car thieves
Manual transmission scares car thieves

Car with push start and manual transmission=ultimate troll

I've left my car unlocked for 2 years in a bad neighbourhood, because it's an Astra

Can´t wait for insurance companies to blame us for NOT storing our pod "in a safe place".

Iv always wanted a golf r, and now i know how to get one

[burnerheinz]

go for the Mr. bean method and remove the steering wheel

I live in the states and bought a car with push button start but the ultimate American anti theft device: the manual transmission.

"Keyless entry" should just be rebranded by manufacturers as "keyless theft enabled"

If the car giveaway doesn't work out I'll give these methods a try

These flaws are built in by the manufacturer. they should be patched out. ODB hack is a ridiculous flaw. that port shouldn't event have power and or data lines connected without the ignition on!

Keyless entry is a tad more difficult to solve... personally i have never liked the idea. you are trading away your cars security for such a slight convenience

Or park your car in your garage. Physical barriers are harder to hack and easier to notice break ins. Lights/cameras also deter thieves.

How to not get your car stolen: drive the biggest pos your neighborhood has ever seen. Bad paint? Sweet. Tires leak? Good. Got mold growing on it? Perfect. Smells like cats have been using it as a bathroom for the last 5 years? Icing on the cake. Thieves would rather get arrested than use your car as a getaway vehicle, and there's no value in it otherwise.

Clutch pedal should do the trick in USA, but not in Europe so much

All this keyless entry stuff how to get your car stole in a few minutes

[MichelHayeur]

It's easy, to not get your car stolen just remove the fuel relay fuse, it will not go anywhere

[megatronn]

I'm stuck between investing in a Summit Racing kill switch, a law enforcement style bait car system and a Q-Branch self destruct system for my car. Decisions, Decisions.

On any Mercedes (like shown in video) with keyless entry double press the lock button! This disable the keyless entry until you press any other button on the remote... read manual and you will be safe

protip: i you have no car then nobody can steal your car

Or.. just have a car with an old school key. In addition to it being an anti-theft system in my opinion it also feels more satisfying to turn to the key for some reason.
