Newer SUVs and trucks with key fobs top the list of the most often stolen vehicles in Canada, the Insurance Bureau of Canada said Wednesday. The most stolen vehicle in Atlantic Canada was the Chevrolet Silverado, which is typically targeted for export by criminal groups. "That means they're acquiring your signal from your key fob, cloning your key fob and [then] have the ability to start your vehicle without ever having the original key fob," he said. "It's as simple as walking to your front door, seeing if they're able to capture a signal of a key fob that might be inside. Basically, it is in a protective box or a pouch and [criminals] don't have the ability to capture that key fob signal."
