# Advice on car theft protection

How thieves steal cars in Serbia today and what stops each method. Most often they drive off in a car with the key left inside. Other cars they steal with devices: through the OBD port under the steering wheel they make a new key, they relay the keyless key signal, or they send the car a fake message through the wiring by the headlights. We relocate the OBD port and fit immobilisers, alarms, OBD blockers and GPS.
