What is relay theft? Thieves use devices to amplify your key fob's signal, tricking your car into thinking the key is nearby. They unlock, start, and steal the car—all without a trace. 🚘

Relay theft is on the rise in Dudley. Thieves can intercept your car key’s signal from outside your home and steal your vehicle—even if your doors are locked. Take steps to protect your car! 🚨

How to prevent relay theft:

See someone acting suspiciously around vehicles? Trying door handles or lingering near driveways? Call 999 immediately. Your vigilance can help us combat relay theft! 🚔

Relay theft happens fast:
Thieves intercept your key fob signal.
They amplify it to unlock & start your car.
Your car is gone—no damage, no noise.

How do Faraday pouches work? They block electromagnetic signals, stopping your car key’s signal from being intercepted by thieves. It’s simple, effective protection! 

Faraday pouches aren't just for car keys! Use them to protect other wireless devices like RFID cards or access fobs from being skimmed or cloned. #StaySecure

Buying a used car? Always reprogram the keys. Previous owners might still have access to your vehicle! A simple step can save you from future theft.

Tip: Disable the wireless signal on your key fob when not in use. It’s an easy way to block thieves from intercepting the signal. Check your fob's manual! 🚘🔑

Physical security still matters! Use steering wheel locks, immobilizers, and additional alarms to stop thieves—even if they bypass electronic protections.

Think of a Faraday pouch as a "signal shield" for your car keys. When used properly, it can stop relay thieves in their tracks. Test yours regularly to ensure it works! 🚘💡
