"If you own an iPhone, you may receive a notification that an AirTag is nearby

If possible, park your vehicle in a locked garage as most vehicles are stolen from a driveway

Use a steering wheel lock, which will also work as a visual deterrent

Install a lock on your car’s data port. Police said the simple device can be purchased online and blocks access to the vehicle’s computer port"

1 - Be rich. Have an iphone.

2 - Be rich. Have a garage.

3 - Pretend this will help. It won't.

4 - Probably the only method thus far, that may be reasonable.




I mean.. they're stealing LUXURY vehicles. So the real solution to this problem is "Don't be rich. Don't own an expensive vehicle."


Finally some advice I can actually follow!


1 - Eye roll - It said if you own one. It's part of their features. 2 - Eye roll, less severe. It said if possible. If not, protect yourself better. 3 - lol these things have always made me laugh with their as-seen-on-tv style advertising. 4 - at least you're somewhat reasonable.


why would the steering wheel lock not help? it would require extra tools, time and noise to circumvent. It's cheap and effective, just a pita.
