    Hi all.
    Just been reading about the increase in car theft by intercepting the signal from your key and amplifying the signal and relaying to second person to open car and steel it – I suspect most of you are already aware of this – I got a couple of aluminium foil lined pouches for our keys over three years ago when we got the Prius.
    Something to be said for old fashion keys after all.
    It is the amplification of the signal which makes it difficult to know how secure you are  – I have to be standing right next to the car door for it to work and we always take the keys up to bed with us.

    Normally I would say that the Kona isn’t up market enough – but with the shortage of new EV cars I’m sure there will be a market for them.
    The idea of going all “blue Peter” and lining the bedside cabinet draw with aluminium foil – does make me feel like I might be over reacting – but it does make you wonder ?
