Aluminum Foil Can Be Used for Key Fobs (Reduces Auto Theft)

I was just reading a posting on this site from another user who (like me) isn't able to sell his aluminum foil. Before you throw the foil away, here is another possible use for it. If you have a late model vehicle that uses a key fob, wrapping the fob in aluminum foil may actually reduce your chances of having your car or truck stolen!

Apparently, the bad guys only need to be within 300 feet of an unprotected key fob to be able to steal a vehicle. So if you are asleep at night and your late model car isn't in a garage, it might be stolen.

Here is a link from the Kim Komando show:

I do work in a city with the highest per-capita rate of auto theft (last I checked)... and environmentally aware hippies eating granola and smoking weed driving Subarus and Toyota Prius that wait for stop signs to turn green in traffic.

So now I feel like I'm being shamed for wearing tin foil hats. And BTW they are not for the government.....they're for aliens.
