  • Part of the function of the lock should be to indicate of forced entry.

    Sure they could attack a window, but then you know something happened.

    A magnet attack on a smart lock usually leaves no indication of bypass. So you still think everything is as you left it, untill you need that one thing and it’s gone.

    Of course this is more for specific targeted attacks, but still, if you report to insurance that things are missing and they ask if you locked the door, but then there’s no indication of forced entry. How likely are they to pay out, or keep you as a client?









  • If you will always live in an area where you can always 100% rely on public transportation for all of your needs the rest of your life. Then you’re fine.

    I would say if that’s not the case, then get back in the driver’s seat soon, but in a controlled environment. If you are in the USA I would highly suggest an autocross (driving around a parking lot with cones) as that controlled environment. SCCA is full of helpful and friendly enjoyers of cars, and will gladly help you get more comfortable controlling the 2 ton deathtrap in a safer and more reliable way.
