In this video, I tell you about a simple strategy that I use to deter car thieves from stealing my car. Since I leave my spare key fob in my jacket, and only use it to start my car on cold days, it can go missing for hours, days, or even weeks without me noticing. A person that steals the spare key fob will likely push the lock or panic buttons to try to honk the car horn (to see which car the key belongs to). By removing the battery from my spare key fob, I prevent the horn from honking when those buttons are pressed, and deter the car thief from actually stealing my car because the job is much harder (because they have to manually try the key in every single Honda in sight).
