Incidents of thieves stealing cars without using keys, exploiting weaknesses in modern vehicle security systems, are increasing in India. Relay attacks, where signals from a car's key fob are captured to unlock and start the vehicle, are becoming common. Criminals are also using GPS jammers, fake IDs, and OBD port hacks to steal high-end cars.
Earlier, in Noida, a gang targeted Maruti Brezzas for their high resale value, while in Chennai, criminals lured owners with offers to install sun-control film before stealing their vehicles. In Delhi, a family gang stole over 20 SUVs in ten months using advanced tools.
Vehicle owners are advised to take precautions such as storing key fobs in Faraday pouches, installing GPS trackers, and keeping security systems updated. Caution is also advised when using valet services.
