Anyone can buy/build these devices and the software to use them is open source. Like you said if someone wants to steal it they can, its just a matter of how much effort they want to expend on it. |

If you have a garage, you're protected. Although there is a risk anytime you're driving around and parking it anywhere public. That's for any car. Quote:
So in the case of my friend who had his Q60 stolen, those 2 guys he saw through his security cameras with the scanner. Would that scanner store a code needed to have driven away with his car? Because of the scanner just amplifies the range, why were they circling his house with the scanner? Like did they get closer to where the fob would be, have the code in the scanner, then go up to his car and drive away? It sucks i don't have a garage but i do have a long ass skinny driveway. Plus i live on a one way so if someone wanted to take one of my cars, they'd have to move the tesla and park it somewhere in the middle of my block lol. Oh well, thank god for insurance. |

Yeah adding a layer of physical security such as a garage or locked gates is a good idea. I have a garage and I also have ring cameras with person detection watching all sides of my house. Garage door is sensored as well. |

But the way you described rolljam now i'm starting to think of a few scenarios in the past when i was taking the M3 out. How close would that scanner have to be in order for those guys to get the code as i'm doing the unlock/lock to the car? Like could they do it from a block away or just cars away? |

Not to scare further but remember you can lock/unlock and start (if you have the option) using Connected Drive. There's been vulnerabilities in that also. |

I know thieves can get around that but if they really want the car, they'll have to work for it. And probably damage some shit in the process too. The only thing we can do is not let it be too easy for these guys. |

Conceal Carry along with all of the above!
These fools are getting more and brazen with car jackings @ the gas stations,supermarkets and they follow you home etc! so i say conceal carry if you can no district attorney will charge you these days for getting car jacked and it's legal to kill them during a jacking! aka self defense trust me on this 1!

Who's he? Where are you following these thefts? Is there a live website or something we're not aware of? Curious to see the activity on this. So is it safe to say they're targeting M cars or BMW? I received my club and wheel u-lock a couple of days ago. I do park my cars in tandem behind a locked gated driveway but still, i guess no where is safe. Who knew i had to do double security devices in my own driveway with a lock and cameras everywhere. Crazy times we're living in. |

Is it really worth it over a car? I'm all for fighting. If i know you don't have a gun, even if you're holding a knife, you're not going to bully me around. Fuck that. But guns? All it takes is one trigger happy thug and there goes your life. |

So you can't be judged by 12 when your instinct to pull first was too late and you're carried by 6 anyway. If i don't see a gun, i'm fighting. Knife, machete i don't care. But if i see the hammer, just take the damn car. I can always get another one. |
