Hi Gel, could this be a case of Key Copying as the Keys can be copied by somebody just standing near you, then while you are eating they are in and away with the Freebies. Could be a Case for buying that Themis Key Case - Dave

I have got into the habit now as soon as the QQ is locked the Key is swapped over in the Case.

My understanding is the Perpetrators are using the jammer to stop the signal from the keyfob reaching the car, so when you press the button on the door handle to lock it, nothing happens and the car stays unlocked. So as long as check the car is physically locked after you leave it, they can't steal anything from the car.

It doesn't sound like they are actually copying the keyfob signal and is all very low tech by comparison, especially when it involves someone brazenly stealing from a vehicle in broad daylight and when covered by CCTV.
