Gadgets used by criminals to steal keyless cars without breaking in are being sold online for more than £20,000, the BBC has found.
A new law is imminent on owning devices used in car thefts, some of which allow thieves to bounce the signal from a key inside a property to open a car. But experts say the ban is unlikely to stop gangs who are loaning them out for large sums and stealing vehicles to order.
The BBC has seen price lists and video guides for devices claiming to access cars including Lamborghinis and Maseratis, with gadgets selling for up to 25,000 euros (£22,000).
Abbie Brookes-Morris said criminals used the device to steal her keyless vehicle, a theft she calls "an invasion".
She said the car, which she shares with her partner Tom, was stolen from outside their home in Wolverhampton while they slept.
