Title: Flash car stolen without keys video
Post by: SydneyRover on November 27, 2017, 11:12:40 am: http://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-42132804/relay-crime-theft-caught-on-camera

You could pay for expensive protection with a Thatcham approved steering lock or just use a Cheezels bag for your keys, maybe an enterprising person out there could design a metal foil retractable key container that the key sits inside it when not in use. (like those old leather purses with a zipper)

Yes, and it wouldn't be hard to test out, put one mobile phone in a foil bag and try to ring the number.
