If you leave your garage fob or remote control in your car, pay attention. According to the Luxembourg police, several thefts have been committed using this simple object.
In recent days, police have received reports of “a number of burglaries” made possible by a simple fob or remote control left in plain sight. All the thieves had to do was steal the remote control from a car, sometimes parked outside, and then break into the garage.
To avoid becoming a victim of this kind of opportunistic burglary, the police strongly recommend that you never leave your remote control in a car. Especially if it is parked near your home. They also recommend that you do not leave address information in a vehicle.
More generally, to avoid theft on the move, never leave valuables in a parked vehicle, even for short absences.
