From The Philadelphia Police Department: Criminals are using easily obtainable key fob programming devices to access a vehicle’s computer and create new key fobs, allowing them to silently and swiftly steal your car.  The peak theft hours are between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.  Please remember to:

·         Lock your vehicles 
·         Never leave your car running unattended
·         Use theft deterrents such as a Steering Wheel Lock, Car Alarm, Kill switch
·         Never leave your key fob by the front door unless stored in a faraday bag
·         Park in well-lit or visible areas when possible
·         Check with your dealership for vehicle anti-theft updates
·         Report suspicious activity immediately

Please take a moment and watch this 5-minute auto theft prevention video with Lt Brian Geer of Major Crimes Auto Squad Investigations. https://youtu.be/3A2UugtCR5I
