BlueMike2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 Fair comment, can't hurt though to remind people from time to time, or to flag it for anyone new to having a keyless vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 It’s worth mentioning that Fords from 2019 onwards should have sleepy keys to help stop this type of theft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobr Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Had my last Fiesta stolen that way. The key is now kept in a Faraday box overnight and a krooklock is fitted to the steering wheel with the wheels on full lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe you meant that rather than Krooklock 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatto Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I miss my old Krooklok, saved my works laptop back in the late 1990's. It was a hot day and I was in my Toyota MR2 T-Bar with the roof off. Stupidly I had my laptop in the passenger footwell. I was sitting at a set of traffic lights when a guy on a bicycle came up my inside and leant in and tried to steal the laptop. Managed to whack him in the teeth with my Krooklok, very satisfying, hope the little winker lost some teeth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
