Signal jammers, as a technical tool, have been widely used by criminals to commit car thefts in recent years, especially in the frequent "asphalt pirate" crimes in Argentina and other places.
signal jammer This technology not only changes the traditional way of stealing cars, but also makes it easier and faster for criminals to succeed. However, behind this new crime model, there are a series of complex technical means and social problems.

1. Working principle of signal jammers
The core function of signal jammers is to block wireless communication between cars and car owners by transmitting interference signals.
GPS jammer In most modern cars, car owners use remote control keys to lock the car, and the signal sent by the remote control communicates with the receiving system in the car to activate the alarm system and lock the doors. Signal jammers transmit interference signals with the same frequency as the car alarm system, so that the remote control signal cannot be transmitted to the car normally, causing the owner to think that the car door has been locked, but in fact the car door is not really locked.
Typically, the effective range of signal jammers can reach 40 to 50 meters, which means that criminals do not need to get close to the target vehicle, and can achieve interference by remote operation in the parking lot. This method not only makes it difficult for car owners to detect, but also brings great difficulties to the police in solving the case.
2. Evolution of crime patterns and case analysis
Signal jammers were first used in car theft crimes in Cordoba Province, Argentina, and then quickly spread to large cities such as Buenos Aires. Criminals usually choose large shopping malls, supermarkets and other public places with large traffic as the crime scene. Car owners often neglect to check whether the car doors are really locked when shopping, which gives criminals an opportunity to take advantage of.
A typical case occurred in the Villa Urquiza area of Buenos Aires. A businessman Sebastian and his wife went shopping in a shopping mall in the suburbs. When they locked the car and entered the mall, the car's alarm system and locking function were actually blocked by the jammer, and the car door was not really locked. The criminals took advantage of this loophole to easily enter the vehicle, steal the items in the car and obtain Sebastian's home address, and then carried out a burglary.
This case reveals the key role of signal jammers in the implementation of efficient and organized car theft crimes. Criminals can easily obtain property inside the car without damaging the exterior of the car, and even further commit burglary.
