Your Coffee Can = Car Theft Shield?

Did you know your car key fob could be a goldmine for hackers? Thieves are using cheap gadgets to grab your fob’s signal—even through walls! A cybersecurity pro says the easiest hack is just tossing your key fob in a metal coffee can or wrapping it in foil. That blocks the signal and keeps your ride safe. Forget leaving your fob by the door—distance and metal are your new BFFs against car theft! #Cars #CarOwnership #CarTheft

Car Thieves Can’t Resist This Ride

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is officially the hottest target for car thieves right now—getting swiped 39 times more than the average car! Turns out, muscle cars like the Camaro (and even the regular Camaro) are just too tempting for crooks, thanks to their power and a sneaky vulnerability in their tech. Bonus: electric cars are way less likely to get stolen, so maybe it’s time to go green? #Cars #CarTheft #ChevroletCamaro

Car Thefts Spark Massive Lawsuit Drama

Imagine locking your SUV, only to have it stolen anyway—and then finding out 13 carmakers might’ve known about a security flaw the whole time. That’s what happened to one Quebec man, and now he’s leading a class action against Toyota, Honda, Ford, and more. The lawsuit claims these companies didn’t warn buyers about how easy it is to hack keyless entry. If you’ve had a car swiped since 2021, you could be owed cash. Wild, right? #Cars #CarTheft #ClassAction

$350K Mercedes Vanishes in Dealer Mix-Up

A Mercedes dealer sold a $350K G63 AMG to another dealer, but the SUV never made it—someone posing as a transporter just drove off with it! Turns out, this kind of high-end car heist happens more than you’d think. Both dealers are now out a luxury ride and a pile of cash, and everyone’s pointing fingers. Is this the new Gone in 60 Seconds? Or just dealers getting a taste of their own medicine? #CarTheft #MercedesAMG #DealerDrama #Cars #BuyingCar

Car Parts Thieves Are Obsessed With

Did you know thieves are way more into stealing car parts than whole cars these days? Catalytic converters are the top target (they’re packed with pricey metals!), but batteries and even tailgates are also hot items. Some Toyota Tacoma tailgates are going for $600 on Facebook Marketplace! If you wake up to a missing part, call your insurance—comprehensive coverage might save you. Moral of the story: double-check your coverage and maybe park somewhere safe tonight! #CarTheft #CatalyticConverter #CarInsurance #Cars

Influencer’s $150K Camaro Stolen at Event

Imagine flying in to celebrate your custom Camaro becoming a die-cast toy, only to have the real $150K car stolen from the event parking lot! That’s exactly what happened to Autumn Spooner, whose purple-wrapped ZL1 was swiped while she was literally on the plane. The wild part? The thieves ditched the wrap and plates but left her Insta handle on the car. Meanwhile, the $25 die-cast model sold out in hours. What a rollercoaster! #CarTheft #InfluencerDrama #CamaroZL1 #Cars

Camry Wheels Gone—But Wait, It Gets Worse

Imagine coming out to your car and finding it sitting on its rotors—no wheels in sight. That’s what happened to a Camry owner in Pasadena, TX, and the repair bill was way more than just new tires and rims. Turns out, leaving your car on bricks or blocks after a theft can actually cause even more damage—think crushed doors and $4k in bodywork. Moral of the story: don’t trust makeshift supports, and those locking lug nuts aren’t as foolproof as you think! #CarTheft #ToyotaCamry #CarRepair #WheelTheft #CarHacks #Cars
