On Monday, someone broke into my locked 2016 JKU. When I got back to the Jeep I hit the unlock button on the remote and it beeped 3 times. I thought that was odd, but didn't immediately think someone got in. When I realized I had been robbed and someone had been inside, I walked around the Jeep to find out how they got in. No broken windows (hard top on), no broken door.. and then I saw it.
They stuck something in the door lock.
My question: how did they bypass the anti theft? I put a key in one time when it was locked and it beeped like crazy. I mean, they were clearly professionals since whatever tool they used to get in didn't damage anything but the lock cylinder. It's getting repaired today and so far the dealer said it looks like just the cylinder is damaged.
I'm really angry about the whole thing, but glad they didn't take the whole truck and glad I wasn't there when it happened. It still sucks, especially since there were no witnesses and no cameras where it happened - the police don't expect to find out who did it.
