Ever since he saw an advert showing thieves accessing the code for your car, by holding a device near the wall, DH was so worried that he ordered an RFID box for our keys.
What will they invent next?

We store all our car keys in faraday cases.

We had card protection, but I never thought of car keys before.

Actually I had a conversation with friends about this yesterday. My car is old and it's a step further than I want to go, but I understand why

Tin foil works just the same.

Faraday box here, (when I remember).

You’re right, Petra
My new fact for today.
DH just told me he already knew that (so why did we have to get a box?)
.
I stood outside in the cold with my key wrapped a piece of tinfoil. The car stayed shut.
The only snag was that the slightest gap, and the lights came on.

Our car is so faulty that my husband is praying that it gets stolen!
