Of course there's absolutely, positively, NO WAY thieves could ever get hold of the activation stuff. Nope. Never happen.

The point of anti-theft devices is to keep honest people honest. What that means is it takes away temptation from minor thievery...people just stealing a few things, usually to use themselves. Acquiring a RF activation device would be expensive...you'd have to be stealing for a profit then.

You'll never stop a determined criminal at a retail level...there are and probably always will be too many ways to cheat the system. But you can cut out a majority of the theft by deterring the minor thieves with devices like this.
