Car thieves use a Game Boy to circumvent vehicle security.
In recent headlines, a bunch of British vehicle thieves utilized a gadget that appears like a regular old Nintendo Game Boy to hack into car security. This gadget may appear to be a standard video game console, but it is worth up to $27,000 since it allows vehicle thieves to easily start the car engine after evading the security and driving away with the new wheels they purchased.
According to BBC reporters, the criminals, identified Dylan Armer, Christopher Bowes, and Thomas Poulson, were using these devices to steal automobiles in their area, including five Mitsubishi Outlanders.
During an effort to steal another automobile, the criminals were apprehended in the act. The Game Boy device was discovered in a concealed compartment of their automobile, along with a video in which Paulson showed how fast and effortlessly their new technology allowed them to steal cars.
