The curious case of the city in which car keys are blocked and can not be started

Alarms are also activated. Motorists from a small Canadian town still do not marvel at what is happening at the parking lot of a food distributor. There are still several vehicles left there, they have blocked the smart keys and could not reopen them or start them.

Local channel CBC News reported that several people who used the car park at the Carstairs location said their keys were blocked or they could not start their car directly. Also the alarms have been activated alone.

"It's strange, people are now afraid to come because they do not know if their car will start," said Laura Strate, who works in front of the parking lot. "It's frustrating," added Stephen Kennedy, branch manager.

From the Facebook profile of the trade, they tried to calm the motorists and made a hypothesis on the problem: they evoke a possible interference in their power supply.

"We turned off all the power sources in our store, but there was still interference, which means we're sure the signal does not come from the store," they wrote.

One of the parkings of the branch.

Kennedy himself revealed that he was even seeking the help of the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to solve the problem.

This type of key issues a signal to unlock the doors without using conventional locks. Its functions are activated only by presence, without it being necessary to press a keychain button.
