Relay Theft
Relay theft is a real threat to modern vehicle owners. Why, you ask, is a company selling bollards telling me this? Relay theft has become a common way of stealing cars every day in the UK. With a Driveway Bollard however, even if thieves could hack your keyless entry, they can't get the car off your driveway / parking space.
What is Relay Theft?
Relay theft is when two thieves work together to access your car by interrupting the signal emitted between your key and vehicle. If you’re the owner of a keyless entry car and have your car parked on the driveway, keeping your key near your front door can be particularly risky.
Once they find out the location of your fob, hackers can utilise relay boxes to disrupt and amplify the signal to trick your car into unlocking – all without having to enter your home.
Check out this video created by Shmee150 which demonstrates relay theft.
Can a Driveway Bollard stop relay theft?
Put simply, yes. The bollard locks the car in place. Even with sophisticated relay theft enabling technology, the car could not be moved. For thieves this is the ultimate deterrent. This is ultimately why Driveway Bollards offer a truly cost effective, simple, yet highly secure solution for keeping your vehicles or other private property safe.
