Thieves will steal a Yugo! Best of luck to ya!

 

Well I have to suggest when storing your key fob inside your house use a faraday cage, this will prevent the fob from being duped from outside.

Maybe look into an aftermarket anti-theft device like the one shown below.

Best of luck on the recovery.

 

When buying a used vehicle with fobs, if you do not receive all the fobs, I suggest taking it in and get the fobs cleared and reprogrammed. A missing fob can gain entry into your vehicle!

 

I agree with the comment below, use a Faraday case. Lots of new model chevy/gmc trucks come up missing where I'm at and the feed back is that they are duplicating the signal from outside the house. May not be what happened in your case but it's just another level of protection.

 

I know for the Chevy SS crowd, thought was initially it was fob cloning, but that turns out to not be the case. Thieves don't need to see your fob to send a signal that works to unlock/start the car with their current tools.

 

Hi Newbie. I'm sorry for your loss and fee your pain. My V2 was stolen from in front of my house about a month ago. It was low mileage and super clean, and like you I had been searching for a nice one for about 6 months. I only had it for a month before some *&#hole stole it! Your insurance rates shouldn't go up as it is considered a comprehensive loss, same as if someone hit you.

I'd like to see what others on this forum recommend for anti-theft measures for when and if I get another one (I already ordered a Faraday box!)
