If there's a car in your yard that has automatic, so-called 'smart' keys, you should consider keeping the keys in the fridge. That's the message from Finnish police, who say that high-tech criminals could hack cars with such systems.
"It sounds strange, but it makes sense," said Jari Tiiainen of the National Bureau of Investigation.
These so-called smart keys work by emitting a signal when the driver touches the door handle. The lock opens when it recognises the key's signal. Criminals have technology that can strengthen that signal even from a hundred metres away—well inside the residential property where most owners keep their keys, according to Eero Heino of the If insurance company.
Fridges block that signal, hence the advice from police.
"We haven't recommended fridges, but foil will do the same job," said Heino.
Interesting, but kinda old. People do this in the US too. Not put keys in fridges, but use antennas to grab these signals while hiding out in parking garages.

Isnt it easier to put the key in a metal box instead? Or any box covered with aluminium foil.

People readily have fridges on hand. Boxes covered with foil, not so much.
