www.familyhandyman.com/article/why-you-need-to-wrap-your-car-key-fob-in-foil "Put tinfoil over your head and you’re crazy, but if you put tinfoil around your car key fob, you’re a genius. Turns out thieves can use devices that will amplify fob signals to cars or copy the code to get into a vehicle. So why wrap your car key fob in foil? Well, your car waits for a signal from the fob and thieves can grab fob signals. But if your car key fob is wrapped in tinfoil it will decrease the signal...." My notes: Tinfoil is used more often now to help with decreasing signals & EMFs. People are not looked at like they are crazy anymore 'cos it DOES work!

I wonder how close you would have to be to your car to get the keyfob to work if you did this. It's insane that they can increase the signal to steal the code for your fob. ^^
