A key point of focus

SECURITY TIP: Be aware of criminals who use their own "remote control" units to attempt to jam the signal that you send from your remote control unit to lock your car and activate its alarm. There are reports of criminals who "block" this signal and subsequently access or steal cars in this manner. Make physically sure your car is locked after pressing your remote control unit!
