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.
