Summary
Car thefts in Victoria are exploding, with dozens stolen daily—mostly targeting push-start vehicles. Thieves are using tech to clone keys, even if they’re inside your house. Police urge simple fixes: keep keys in signal-blocking pouches or metal tins, lock the OBD port, use a steering wheel lock, and park in garages. Never leave your car unattended or doors unlocked—even at home. A new online tool lets you check if a car is stolen, helping police recover vehicles faster. Community vigilance is key to stopping this surge. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
