Does anyone take any extra precautions when they put their car keys away overnight?
There seems to be so many stories about the theft of key signals with people apparently able to clone car key signals without even having to get hold of the keys. Is it really a problem?

It’s not a problem if you keep your keys away from the front of your house, or in a metal box, or in a ‘faraday’ pouch. It’s also not a problem if your keys have a sleep mode which I’m told most makers introduced about 18 months ago. Otherwise it might be a problem, depending on your local environment, but certainly not as much as so called journalists producing cheap copy would like their readers to believe.
I bought Faraday bags from eBay. Spare key in the case in a cupboard, regular key in a case in the drawer. Neither key will start the car when they’re in the case so I’m happy.
We fit a Stoplock Pro Elite
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
I bought a faraday box from amazon, big enough to fit 2 sets of keys in and it lives on the shoe box in the hall.
It was mainly for peace of mind after reading all the horror stories
£6 for 2, used it when we had a short stay in a caravan park..
Brilliant, thanks for all the help. Really appreciated.
Did you get an orange key Wigwam, I was promised it would be 2 black keys one orange and a sports stick like waterproof thing…
Ended up one black one orange, tbh I would’ve left the thing there, however Mrs Ajn loved it at first sight..
I always use the orange key anyway..
My main key is in box made specially for keyless keys and my spare is in my safe.
