Traveller gangs using high tech ‘master key fobs’ to rob cars and vans

    Haven't seen a traveller thread recently...
    They have been buying the devices – which can override locking systems – on dodgy internet sites. The fobs allow them to break into any vehicle without ever needing to break the doors or locks.

    In a recent incident in the Greystones, Co Wicklow, the gang made off with more than €20,000 worth of tools in less than a couple of minutes.
    I'm very surprised. Not so much the thieving, but using the high tech gadgetry. And as they are pretty untouchable in regards the law, I fear the crimewave will continue unopposed.

    Why would you say untouchable? A large percentage of the prison population is travellers...

    That's it. The only solution is to ban the internet and those dodgy sites

    Its in the Sunday world (indo group)

    Sure, it HAS to be true.


    Take anything and i mean anything you see in any indo publication with a pinch of salt.

    Sure, only earlier today they were trying to make a car on fire incident into "car explodes in Dublin city centre".

    Headline changed after a hour - the editor must have realised that it was just a tad OTT even for the most hysterical of hysterical media outlets

    Have them yokes not been around since the invention of keyfobs?


    That's one rag of a paper alright. Years ago there was a few oul lads drinking in a border pub when stranger entered their midst. After filling them with Rum and Pep he asked about the abandoned hotel up the road. 'Aye', says one of them, 'it's a great shame. I spent my wedding night in that hotel, but the boy that has it now keeps his ewes in it at lambing time now, that's how far down it's gone.'

    World Exclusive: The gang is led by a ruthless thug known as "key fob" who has declared war on the rival gang led by a young psychopath known as "keyless entry thanks to advanced motion sensor", sources say that "key fob" has hired an old school mobster known as "crowbar " to take out his rival. "Crowbar" took over from his former ally "Screwdriver" during a vicious fued in which nobody was involved.
