lpgao Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 In a few time I fell some one might get in my 2011 Limited while it was parking on street. I am wondering anyone could open the door or liftgate to get in vehicle without keyless remote and alarm not going off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Without keyless entry? Sure. Without alarm going off? Possibly, but less likely (depends on shock sensor sensitivity and if they open a door). Don't assume the alarm will have any effect on them. If someone wants to get into your vehicle, they will. Alarm or not. Even if your alarm goes off, they have more than enough time to grab what they want and be gone before anyone has time to react. Any countermeasure (alarms, lights, led warnings, etc) are just deterrents. Determination far outweighs them. Best idea is to park in a trustworthy area with surveillance signs clearly posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Candurin for your promptly reply. If as you said some one can get in vehicle pretty easy it is very scary. Anything to make safer?

candurin Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 I find that well trained dogs work... The unfortunate truth is that if someone wants in your car, they will get in your car. LEDs, window decals and audible alarm may scare them, but, it's not a guarantee. Again, park in a garage, safe area or places with posted surveillance and be smart about what you leave in your car.

I'd also add to the bolded text here - also be smart about WHERE you leave things in your car. Leaving items of value - however small - in the open and visible is asking for trouble. Take for example a GPS - how many times have you seen these things stuck to the front window? They are a quick $100+ of value that speaks to a person who is struggling to stay honest.
