Vehicle thieves are increasingly using distraction tactics and high-tech devices to intercept key fob signals, according to the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA).
Police across Canada have received reports of thieves distracting drivers to keep them near their vehicles in parking lots, shopping centres, and other busy areas, CAA South Central Ontario said in a press release. At the same time, they also use electronic devices to capture or amplify key fob signals.
