Hide-a-key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional keys pose less of a security threat than fobs, so more conventional ways of hiding them can be beneficial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re fans of \u2018hide-a-keys\u2019, objects disguised as everyday objects, like rocks, in which you can hide keys. These can then be distributed subtly to great effect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-49d4d2df3758bde313fbdcf16019b7c1\">Considering <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/hide-a-key\/\">buying a hide-a-key<\/a>?

The safest place to keep car keys at home is as far from the front door as possible. <\/strong>This will reduce the risk of them being grabbed and, in the case of modern car keys, prevent the wireless signal from being easily amplified in a relay theft.<br><br>Likewise, always keep fobs in RFID bags\/Faraday cages when not in use.&nbsp;<br><br>As convenient as leaving the keys by the front door or in the garage might seem, you wouldn\u2019t dream of leaving a handbag or an expensive watch there. Why take the risk with a car?<br><br>If convenient access to the car keys is important, <strong>keep car keys in your bag or pocket<\/strong> so you don\u2019t have to hunt for them every time you leave the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Among plants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Placing a car key among potted plants is a nifty way to conceal keys if you don\u2019t mind your fingernails getting a little dirty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place them inside a small zip lock bag (or an RFID bag if it\u2019s a modern car key) and insert them deep into the soil. Turn them horizontally in the soil so there\u2019s no chance of them sticking out, and cover them with plenty of soil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For additional security, have a security camera watch over the area to better protect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-link-color wp-elements-09a04a2b124bef3add56e9e4e24649f8\" style=\"background-color:#faeee3\"><strong>Bonus: Using AlfredCamera to Protect Your Car<\/strong><br><br>AlfredCamera makes a brilliant additional security measure for watching over your vehicle.

Alongside other keys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wherever you decide to keep your primary car key or hide your spare car key, <strong>it\u2019s important to create a habit of separating them to reduce the risk involved if you lose a keychain.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start with, try separating house keys (front and back door) from car keys if they aren\u2019t already.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#faeee3\"><strong>Pro Tip: Stolen or lost keychain<br><\/strong><br>If you misplace a keychain with multiple keys on it, immediately replace all locks on your home, vehicles, and any other objects or places that the chain held keys for.&nbsp;<br><br>Do not wait for the keychain to be returned to you, because the likelihood of this happening is small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_Car_Thieves_Target_Cars\"><\/span><strong>How Do Car Thieves Target Cars?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keyless cars, or cars that use fobs or mobile apps to unlock, are at a higher risk of being targeted by thieves than those with traditional keys because the key isn\u2019t actually required to open the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-e728d02db136a305f0eca2836c4c0a6b\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.confused.com\/car-insurance\/guides\/keyless-entry-car-theft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keyless thefts are becoming increasingly common<\/a> as less vehicles are being manufactured with traditional key locks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Relay Theft?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-d7b7933e90440be9d6245c835d6201bf\">Keyless car theft is achieved through a relay transmitter and an amplifier, usually requiring at least two people to gain access. The relay tricks the vehicle into sensing that the fob is much closer to the car than it actually is by amplifying its signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, the car must be close to the fob anyway, meaning that cars parked directly outside of homes are the main target of this kind of theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What is a Relay Attack?

Spares can be kept inside hide-a-key objects around your property, while fobs should be kept inside RFID\/Faraday bags. The safest place to keep keys in the home is as far from the front door as possible, so keep them upstairs if possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where do you put your car keys at night?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting the keys near you at night is best. Avoid leaving them downstairs, near the front door or in the garage. Keyless fobs should be placed in an RFID\/Faraday box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does putting car keys in a tin block the signal?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting car keys into a tin will not block the signal, though it may interrupt it to a minimal degree. By wrapping the tin up in plenty of aluminum foil, you can improve the effect. Otherwise, buy a dedicated RFID\/Faraday box to store it in for total peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why would you wrap your car keys in foil at night?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrapping your car keys in foil at night mimics the effect of a Faraday cage, an object which shields whatever is inside it from electromagnetic fields. By doing this, you can prevent relay attacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relay attacks are used to unlock keyless vehicles by amplifying the signal the fob produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the keys are in foil, it may increase interference and block some of the electromagnetic waves from reaching the key, though it is not as reliable as a dedicated Faraday cage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are push start cars easier to steal?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, push start cars are significantly easier to steal than ordinary key turn cars. Any vehicle with onboard computing is susceptible to hacking. Cars that don\u2019t have computers in them are not. A relay attack can be used to open and start the car by tricking the car\u2019s system into registering the key as nearer than it actually is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can someone steal my car without the key fob?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, someone can steal your car without the key fob by using a relay transmitter and an amplifier. So long as the perpetrator is within reasonable distance of the fob (for example, outside your home), the signal can then be relayed and amplified to trick the car into detecting it as closer than it actually is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following our tips and tricks on hiding and storing primary and spare car keys will help significantly reduce the risk of your vehicle being stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to modern car keys, blocking the signal is fundamental to avoiding relay theft, an increasingly pervasive crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-2847d5694cd9b6b783ec1ed611bb7c75\">Recommended reading:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/how-to-find-a-stolen-car\/\">How To Find A Stolen Car in 3 Steps<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/keeping-car-outside-vs-garage\/\">Keeping A Car Outside Vs Garage: Which Is Best<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/car-security\/\">Protect Your Vehicle From Auto Theft with These 6 Car Security Tips<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/security-cameras-for-cars\/\">Keep Your Vehicle Safe With These Top 5 Security Cameras For Cars<br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/car-blocking-driveway\/\">Another Car Blocking Your Driveway? | Here Is What You Should Do<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/how-to-prevent-home-invasion\/\">How to Hide a Key (And Keep Home Invaders in the Dark)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where do you hide your car keys?
