SO one thing that got me thinking after I thought my TV had been stolen while camping away from home, is now that most cars have electronic/chipped keys,
how do cars still get stolen?
I ask because one of my fears is having the TV stolen while 1,000 miles away from home and what (if anything) I can do do diminish the possibility of car theft.
If the thief does not have the fob/key - how do they steal a car? (obviously a rhetorical question !!!)

Around here they simply use a tow vehicle, they use the type that they can slide out a device that cradles the rear tires and they drive away with your vehicle. Gone in 30 seconds.

With today's technology vehicle hacking has became a real threat-- especially when a smart phone is connect to the vehicle. OnStar, Ford Sync and others are especially vulnerable. Do a Google on "car hacking" and get educated on a good defense before you become a victim. Just saying.... ๐

I had posted about my F350 being stolen in June. Here is a link to that thread.
I got a call from a KC Police detective Friday. He said one of the local TV stations wanted to interview me about my truck being stolen. I agreed in the hope that it might shed some light on the problem and just maybe help prevent someone else from having theirs stolen.
I thought some of you here might be interested in it.
Here is the link to the report that aired Friday night.
