Keyless cars now make up half of all vehicles stolen despite being 1 per cent of cars on the road.  Thieves use new technology to target owners with widely available signal relay devices that tricks the car into thinking the correct key is present by amplifying its signal. Once thieves gain access to the vehicle, it can be started and moved in seconds.    Insurance claims for car thefts grew by 20 per cent each year between 2016 and 2019. And keyless vehicles account for an ever-increasing proportion of claims, according to data from LV= Insurers.  Tesla, Lexus, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Jaguar, and Land Rover cars are among the brands increasingly targeted by keyless car thieves.
