Thames Valley Police said: "This car has keyless entry and is possibly part of a series, being carried out across the Met.
"Keyless car fobs must be protected, as they emit a signal, which can be copied – normal key fobs do not. Keyless fobs must therefore be kept as far away as possible, from the front door – so - not in a bowl in the hallway."

Residents who have keyless entry cars are being told to keep the fob in a protected 'Faraday Cage' or an old tin.
