Keeping your keys in a tin box or a foil lined drawer should block the signal.
I'm glad my car has good old fashioned keys.

I think Will’s post was the only one on this forum I read with eyes and mouth wide open. I can just imagine how hard it must have had been not jumping out of the doors with a bat or a bar and charging on scums. Very wise not engaging and calling a cops.
As already said, rebadging to CDI could be a wise
Police actually responding thus must mean they are after this lot - they will know them from other 'jobs' and thefts in the area, CCTV and potentially intelligence.
Ghost and disklok are all good deterrents, but the sad reality is that ultimately owning a desirable motor carries a risk no matter what you do.
I would assume that the cost of insurance if affected by how 'nickable' the car is.Is that aspect evident in insurance premiums for such cars - or are the costs of these thefts spread more widely?

This all took place a little later than usual I reckon. It was around 5.20 in the morning. A bit risky as you see quite a few people out and about even at say 6am. Maybe they had been unsuccessful elsewhere earlier that night?
I sometimes wonder wether a simple disklok and a security bollard may be enough to put these people off
PITA to remove each morning/every time you go out but it’s one or two more steps extra in the process of getting the car away, plus they’d make a hell of a racket trying to grind off a disklok or bollard
Even a good old fashioned shotgun would be effective.Hi velocity rifle would sort them out lol
Maybe there are a lot more people driving high end German cars these days....How nickable depends on the age too, most stolen cars in 2005 in the UK were..............
