AA chief reveals his microwave tip to foil tech-savvy car thieves

After his wife's Lexus was stolen, Edmund King went the extra mile to ensure his keyless fob was safe

Edmund King already used a Faraday pouch - a bag with a metal lining to block signals - to hold his keyless fob but has gone to extra lengths since his wife's 50,000 Lexus was stolen by hackers.
