Also, And immediately buy the Faraday pouches for stopping the keyfobs from sending the signal out to the car 24/7 - another thing the thieves can intercept and make a new fob from. And furthermore...place the keyfobs and pouches somewhere inside your house (a metal safe is best) and not hanging on a hook by the front door. (Another theft method is they walk around your house/garage with a modified receiver to pick up the keyfob signal from the typical homeowner who hangs his keyfobs by the back door.

In the Toronto Canada area, if the "human waste" want your car or cars bad enough, they'll change their theft methods slightly to include a home invasion. Driveway bollards? If the homeowner can raise them, the homeowner WILL lower them if there is a gun at their head. Cameras can't see faces if the faces are masked. Unfortunately we Canadians are forbidden to use firearms for protection so some of you (Stateside) do have that option but still ... is your car worth a possible loss of life? I am not saying "do this or don't do that" I am saying ... give your security options a lot of thought. Police in Toronto initially recommended Faraday bags, now they are saying "leave the keys by the door and let them take your vehicle, confronting them is NOT worth it". It's F-ing pathetic and disgusting but it's how life in Toronto is now. Just something to think about ...
The link below relates to an event that recently happened in a very posh area of Toronto known as Forest Hill (86 Kilbarry rd). Similar events have become the norm here.
