Car Theft
I have just watched a doorbell video of a car theft near me - it was a keyless car and took less than 10 seconds to relay the signal and drive off.
What happens when the car is parked up? How do they get it going again? How do they open the doors if the car is automatically locked?

A brand new one was 3 days old and I had a secret lock somewhere? don't want to say - at the wheel. The fellas (I knew them) couldn't get it to start and broke the window and pushed it to an entry. Window was obviously broke and wheel was mangled. Incredible outside your own door.
The next one was outside my door where I live at the moment - I had left the house door ajar and keys were in the hall (I know exactly who was responsible for that too) - anyway about 7.30pm of a Friday night - key was taken out of the hall and it was found in Ardglass 6 months later. I didn't find out until 10.30pm when I was putting Maxie out for his night pee.
The third was outside a restaurant and it just went - the young ones knew what to do to spark the ignition. Couldn't believe that.
I would never want a keyless key nor do I want a contactless debit card - just would be afraid of losing them and somebody else stealing again. My 11 year old with 26,000 miles will be raked into the ground.

Barsel - your key only transmits when you push a button on the fob. With keyless entry the fob transmits all the time so that, when you get near to the car, it can be opened. ginge pointed out that more modern keyless entry fobs only transmit if they are being moved (in a moving person's pocket/handbag) so are more secure that the early ones.
