Fair Lawn NJ, recently we have had several stolen vehicles within our borough. Fair Lawn is not going downhill or getting “bad” This happens every so often, but it’s a reminder that crime happens everywhere. Help us prevent auto thefts. We know life is busy with kids, bringing in groceries etc…but remember to lock your vehicle and take your key fob with you!
In the video posted (not Fair Lawn) these thieves found keys to another vehicle in the driveway and took it. Similar to a recent theft. Thieves also use other technology where the key fob just has to be close to pick up a signal up. They use a device to take that signal as if the fob is present and take the vehicle. Please try and keep your fob further from where the vehicle is parked!
Also practice the 9:00 pm routine! At 9:00 pm (or sooner) lock your vehicle and make sure no valuables are left behind! Together we can make it possible to keep these thefts down.
This entire change to fobs turns out to be bad idea.
These people are lazy fools.
They deserve what they get.
These key fobs suck. If you lose one it’s ridiculous how much it cost. Give me an old fashion key we never had these problems before.
