People in Alberta town trying to solve mystery of malfunctioning vehicle key fobs

CARSTAIRS, Alta. — People in a small town north of Calgary are trying to figure out why they can’t use their vehicle key fobs when parked near the community’s grocery store.

The Westview Co-operative food store in Carstairs says it tried shutting off all power, but key fobs still wouldn’t work.

The store doesn’t have Wi-Fi, so that has been ruled out.

“We will continue to work with our community partners to determine the source of the interference,” the company says in a post on its Facebook page.
