My son drives a nice camry. He woke u a few days ago and the car was gone from his garage in Blaine, a northern Mpls suburb. Te called the credit union, the lien holder and asked if they had towed it. They said no.
It has some skip trace device. They said $600 would cover a skip trace which he paid for then the police found the car, arrested the thief, and towed the car to impound. He had to pay hundreds to get it out.
He said that thieves can get close to you maybe at a store or gas station. They can read some code when you use a remote. They they follow you to locate where you leave the car. Then they use their device to open the doors and start the car. He said he can buy a second remote to open the doors but i do not see how that helops.
For now he borrows my car a POS when he goes to bad neighborhoods.
He left his car for me but the keys/remote were locked inside. I told him . He remembered my wifi pw and unlocked the car using my wifi. Geez!
