Review on πŸ”’ 2 Pack GICENT Faraday Bags for Key Fob - Car RFID Signal Blocking Pouch, Black Antitheft Protector, Anti-Hacking Case Blocker by Karl Swift

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Maybe we need them all

Nice size and design, neat stitching, easy plug and unplug. I recently met up with another photographer who was also traveling from home in Hood River, Oregon. Between Portland and his destination, he parked at the beginning of the trail, grabbed his camera bag, locked the car, and followed the trail to the falls. Back in the car he threw his camera bag on the seat and drove to our hotel. When he opened the trunk, his suitcase was missing with all his clothes and laptop. The car had no damage. Two days later, a woman called the hotel and contacted him. She lives near the road. His empty laptop bag was found abandoned in the woods. In loose papers nearby was a printed hotel reservation email, which she traced him to. "Unfortunately, that often happens around here." Thieves lurk with walkie-talkies that record the codes sent by our key fobs. Key fobs are constantly handed over. That's how our Honda knows when we're coming to unlock the door and adjust the power seat. So put this Faraday sleeve on the fob before entering the parking lot, then after parking, remove the spare key from the fob and use it to lock the doors. Keyless entry is an unnecessary convenience that makes our cars unsafe, unsafe for our belongings and our pets when we travel. This inexpensive item works when used wisely.
