Keyless Entry Issues

I recently heard about a new truck that was stolen because thieves were able to "read" the keyless FOB entry code. (Ironically, that truck was found not long afterwards because the same thieves stole a second truck at the same time - only this one had a GPS tracking device in it. The owner was able to tell the police exactly where the second truck was parked - and the first truck was parked nearby!

Stories like this make us wonder how to protect our own vehicles from thieves armed with devices to "read" our personal keyless FOB entry code.

Terry read somewhere that storing the keys in a tin can protects FOB keys from detection... I'll have to do more research to see if it's true... But if it is, I'll be happy! Now I'll have a reason to keep cute metal coffee tins with lids!
