The reported theft took eight minutes. Six of them were spent replicating the Nissan’s key frequencies, according to the victim’s account. The social-media account ‘bernideldesguace’ shared the story of an acquaintance whose Nissan Juke RS Nismo was stolen.
The victim said it took two minutes to open the door. The three people involved then allegedly spent six minutes copying the key frequencies to start the car as if they had the original. The account describes the process as copying the key’s radio-frequency signal; that wording can refer to signal relaying or interception of remote-control transmissions. It can also describe use of a vehicle key-programming system. They arrived in one car and left in the two vehicles.
The account describes a further step: leaving a stolen vehicle parked for several days. Thieves may move it to another area, sometimes another town, and leave it on a busy street. The stated purpose is to see whether a tracker leads the owner or authorities to the car. In some cases, the account says, the number plates are replaced with false ones.
That method is presented as a general practice, not as a confirmed account of what happened to this Juke after it was taken. If nobody comes looking for a vehicle, the thieves may proceed with resale or dismantling. The account also describes changing the chassis number and falsifying documents to pass a car off as another vehicle in Spain.
The Juke RS Nismo was a rare, more powerful version of the Juke Nismo, launched in 2014 with a 1.6 DIG-T engine producing 218 CV, 18 CV more than the Nismo. A report on vehicle thefts in Las Palmas concerns a separate set of figures; the account of this Juke does not give the location of the theft.
