Keyless relay attacks made stealing modern cars faster — under 60 seconds. Recovery data shows layered defense works best:
Layer 1: Deter (make them walk past)
A visible steering wheel lock adds minutes and noise to any theft. Thieves choose easier targets — that's the whole point.
Layer 2: Block the relay
Keyless fob? Faraday pouch at home. The signal can't be relayed from a pouch.
Layer 3: Track (if the worst happens)
Hidden AirTag mounts under a seat or behind a panel. Cheap, silent, and police recover cars with live locations daily.
Layer 4: Record
A dash cam with parking mode captures the attempt — and the face.
All four layers in Security.
