If you leave your fob close to an outer wall/window and your vehicle outside, you could become a victim.
Some thieves are equipped with a set of signal relaying devices (one amplifier and one receiver) that fools your vehicle to open doors or even start engine.
This has happened all over the country. A simple search on youtube will find several reports.
I recently purchased a faraday box from Amazon for $15 dollars. It is very nice leather (faux) box with metallic linings.
I store all my fobs (including spare ones) in it.
I tested it by putting my Mazda6 fob in it. My Mazda6 cannot find it. Great. It works.
Risk for me is actually low since I mostly park my vehicles inside garage.
I tried tin foil. It worked.
I also tried a metal cookie box, and surprising it did not work. (it did work for cell phone)
Are you concerned about this issue?
Maybe I worry too much.
