CAR owners are being warned of a new technique used by thieves.
There is a gadget that thieves are now using to clone the security code when a car owner locks their doors using their remote locking device.
Thieves wait until the victim goes into a shop, then unlock the car with the device.
Motorists should manually lock up with the car key.
