How relay theft works

One thief holds a relay near your house to capture the fob signal; another relays it to the car, which thinks the key is present.

Prevention

Store keys in a Faraday pouch, enable motion-sleep on the fob, and note that newer UWB keys resist relay attacks by measuring true distance.
