Don’t tell me they’re getting late model Toyotas with no keys?

Everyone with key fobs should invest in a faraday boxes. They are cheap on Amazon. Criminals are using signal skimming devices to remotely start cars.

I'm sure I could Google this, but you seem to know what's up. How does this work exactly, the thieves starting them up with a skimmer? Are you supposed to keep your key in the faraday box just while at home, or what's the deal?

I’d also like to know more. I’ve heard of this, but if I have my key in my house, far enough away from the car, how do people get the signal of my fob and then how do they know which car it goes to? There are a bunch of cars parked in driveways and on the street where I live in PVD.

I'm always wary of posts asking to be contacted for stolen vehicles or missing persons because there's no way to verify it.
No offense to OP but posts like this could be used to track down someone escaping an abusive situation.
If anyone spots this vehicle they should contact the police.

Yes, sure please contact the police if that makes you feel for comfortable. They will contact me because the vehicle is registered to me. Just doing everything I can to try and recover my stolen vehicle

Do you have comprehensive coverage? Call your insurance. I work in auto claims and theft is covered under your comp coverage. You will need a police report to file your claim.
