Why Police Recommend Wrapping Your Car Keys in Aluminum Foil

🚨 Police Alert: Protect Your Keyless Car!

Modern keyless cars emit signals thieves can capture in a relay attack, unlocking your car in under 30 seconds.

Simple protection:

  • Wrap your key fob in aluminum foil (Faraday shield)

  • Use Faraday pouches or signal-blocker cases

  • Keep keys away from doors/windows

  • Disable keyless entry if possible

SUVs, push-start cars, and luxury vehicles are most targeted. Some cities report up to 60% increase in thefts.

💡 A $0.30 foil wrap could prevent a $30,000 loss.
