Relay-proof key-fob safe

Block keyless car fobs from relay thieves with a foil-lined box

Keyless car fobs never stop talking, and thieves use a relay to pick up the signal through your front door and unlock the car outside. Line this box and its deep slip-on lid with overlapping foil tape and it becomes a Faraday cage: radio waves cannot get in or out. Drop the fobs in at night and test it by trying the car door with the fob inside. NO SIGNAL is raised on the lid.
