Not going to listen to the lot - but it's great that the media have bypassed the hiatus of mentioning that they are in fact black African youths instead of just saying youths which was the line reported at the start.

But, But but according to the FM104 link these lads are hard done by and come from deprived homes.

Boards.ie does not condone anyone taking the law into their own hands or condoning illegal activities like vigilantism. Therefore that subject needs to be dropped

Alleged surge. As if there hasn’t been more crime. Ridiculous how far some will go to avoid offending.

Proper ghetto style or Bronx type gangs.

They probably are already armed with firearms as it is.

Only a matter of time someone will be shot.

Gardai need to get the finger out but our judicial system needs a shift and actually put scum away and back up the hard working people of this country.

Finally a bit of good news (if true).

This is good news! Unfortunate that it has to happen. But some of these gang members are very young and the fear of these vigilante gangs might keep them out of trouble. Be good for them in the long run.

We are.

No one here is participating in vigilantism. But I doubt anyone here has a problem with what has occurred.

Gaspode

Ah no lads, vigilantism is never the answer. Can we stick to the the thread topic please

A lot of negative publicity to the area in general because of these thugs. Hopefully this results in something.

Hopefully something comes of it.

Hilarious from the mother of the gang leader "His mother initially refused to come to court with her son yesterday/today (WED) and he risked being held in custody. She arrived later and apologised.". Now we know what's wrong with these kids anyways - no parenting.

Brings a whole new meaning to 'some mothers son'.

There'll always be a way to steal a car no matter what the technology Andrew. Radio interception of a remote central locking system (which nearly all cars have) is another example. That's done with a little gadget too.

Indeed, no security system is foolproof -but allowing anyone to open/start your car from your driveway is particularly dumb - just bad design.

It may be a stupid design idea, but truth is, this keyless entry system is adopted by so many automobile manufacturers lately including BMW & Merc. Also, there is quite few video clips on YouTube showing expensive cars being stolen using this flaw in keyless entry cars!

It's not stupid really. What would be a stupid design would be if you're key battery failed on the outside lane on a motorway at 120km/h thus shutting you're engine off. It's a safety feature that the key only needs to be in range to start the car.

Faraday cages are a good idea. Also keep the keys away from the front door and perhaps in a room upstairs furthest away from the car itself.

Installing posts outside in the driveway also act as deterrent.

It could give to 5 mins to slow and stop the car if the key is not detected. Then require a code to unlock the car.

Everything else makes is less convenient. which is ironic. The faraday box is a good idea.

How does the car still work when they move out of range of the key. Has the key been cloned?

Time to go back to remotes that turn off until you press a button on them.

Thought it was just cars with start button s

It's scandalous how easy these cars are stolen.

Everyone with remote keys should get a faraday pouch to keep them in, a neat simple measure that starts from about a tenner online. I got one that fits both mine and wifes keys and got ones for a few older relatives as well who arent great with the concept of how the car can be nicked.

Ten or twenty quid could save you thousands in insurance loadings for several years, even if you have step-back.

A microwave is also a faraday unit, if you’re stuck.

Nissan Leaf stolen from Riverwood estate around 3am on Tuesday 9 January.
Car keys are not taken from the house.
Incident reported to the Gardai.

It might have been the keyless relay method as reported in Clonee in November.

Ye, the keys might have kept in unclosed, open area within the house. And v easy for them thieves to use signal booster and steal the car.
My leaf was stolen the same way in oct' 2017.
