• Consider purchasing a steering wheel locking device or an onboard diagnostic port (OBD) locking device (prevents thieves from reprogramming the vehicle’s key fob).
• Consider leaving keys in a container that will block the keyless FOB’s signal, such as a Faraday bag
• Never leave your keys inside of your vehicle or unattended.
• Lock your vehicle at all times.
