| 1208574 | 2011-06-16 01:45:00 | [QUOTE=Erayd;1025054]Yep, but you'd still be able to see where it was before they parked it in the shed, which would make it very easy to find - so still a very worthwhile measure to take. Thanks :D. /QUOTE] Ah no. Not for Pro car thieves. It's negated very close to were it was stolen. I'm obviously not going to say how its done, but ridiculously easy. The tracking device itself isnt touched . As seen on TV (crimewatch something similar) |

The tracking device itself isn't touched . As seen on TV (crimewatch something similar)I'm curious, how do you think that could be achieved? I can only think of two feasible methods: Bring a cellphone jammer to the heist. Turn the entire car into a Faraday cage. |

Turn the entire car into a Faraday cage. Both easy. I can buy a several-watt jammer for around $200 USD. Faraday cage can be achieved with fine wire mesh stapled to 2x4's. Edit, I can also get weak GPS signal jammers for around $50, not too hard to give them a little extra juice. |

Yep - I'm just curious what 1101 had in mind. Edit, I can also get weak GPS signal jammers for around $50, not too hard to give them a little extra juice. Which is why I intend to use a smartphone, that way it can still figure out where it is even if GPS is unavailable. :pf1mobmini: |
