Cops in Miami Township are sounding the alarm after a surge of slick car heists hitting push-to-start rides. Cops claim crooks have cooked up fresh tricks to hack keyless entry setups, swiping vehicles in the blink of an eye.

The local feds report that muscle cars like Dodge Chargers and Challengers—especially those souped-up SRT, Scat Pack, and Hellcat beasts—are prime targets, alongside Dodge Durangos, Kia Stingers, Infiniti sedans, Chevy trucks and Camaros, plus some Nissans and Hondas. These bandits aren’t playing around.
Here’s the kicker: Investigators think thieves are wielding gadgets that can rewire a car’s computer and brick the owner’s key fob. Once they’ve cracked the system, that ride is gone before you can say “jacked.” And with barely a scratch left behind, victims often don’t realize until their wheels are halfway to a chop shop.
“Thieves are getting more sophisticated, and they’re targeting vehicles that can be accessed electronically,” officials said. “We’re asking the community to take extra precautions and help spread awareness.”
To dodge disaster, stash your key fob far from doors or windows—better yet, toss it in a metal box or one of those fancy signal-blocking pouches. Lock your doors, roll up the windows, and slap on a beefy steering wheel lock if you’re feeling paranoid. Park under bright lights, tuck your ride in a garage if possible, and maybe drop a sneaky GPS tracker somewhere nobody’ll find it.
Oh, and forget leaving your car idling unattended—you might as well slap a “free to a good home” sign on the windshield. Toss any valuables out of sight, too. Cops reckon talking about these thefts could help slam the brakes on more losses.
Anyone noticing suspicious activity is encouraged to contact the Miami Township Police Department immediately.
