A post at Leaside Community Facebook Saturday tells of yet another car theft in which thieves tricked the keyless entry technology incorporated in the key fog to unlock and steal what is called “a large Lexus SUV.” It was taken about 2 a.m. after the family returned home from dinner in Yorkville. The writer thinks they may have been followed. There have been detailed stories written about this problem. Owners are advised to keep their keys away from the front door or anywhere near the home’s perimeter that the unlocking signal might trigger the car lock. Some people keep insulate keys in tin cans or the freezer of the refrigerator. The correspondent in this matter makes the modest suggestion that manufacturers of luxury vehicles probably owe their customers something that is safer. You might think so. This post was re-posted from another group so the location of the theft is not apparent.
