Thieves Are Using Bluetooth to Target Vehicle Break-Ins
Fearmongering; this is a legal issue, not a technical one. Does anyone really think they&#x27;re going to save themselves from thieves by turning off bluetooth? I hope nobody is that naive. This kind of thing also popped up when people realized that thieves could scan and replay early remote commands to unlock cars (and still can for some models!) Was the answer to not use car remotes? Maybe, but for most of us the answer was to make sure your car insurance is up to date and covers theft.<p>Having a car without dents or scratches is attractive. Having visible chargers in your car is attractive. What thieves will find attractive will change over time.<p>Get insurance, do the basic stuff you can to avoid having valuables in your car or advertising yourself as a mark, and don&#x27;t worry about the rest. When the inevitable happens let your friends take you out for a drink and move on.
