Thats why there stolen everyday right?
Stolen without keys? I'd like to see your figures. Car Jacking of newer cars here does happen but thieves of the night breaking into and stealing ANYTHING with a factory immobilizer circa 2000 and up is virtually non-existant.
Howie: Never heard of such things and thieves here aren't into high-tech electronics anyway. Our top stolen vehicles are all popular old model vehicles that have no form of factory immobilizer.

Horses for courses, Audi RS4 for the leather Recaros.
In North America it was normally steal the car for the chop shop, in Europe, break in and steal valuables.
We have a larger version of the Transit, since 1965. In 2000 they went cable locks, the lock mechanism is in a riveted box the only way to steal it was with a cloned key.
Laptop/tablet with say BMW and Audi software, £10,000 ($15k) steal 3 cars and it's paid for.

Well yeah a dealer can always steal your car but thieves here aren't tech savy and a thief BUYING a laptop and necessary software that costs £10,000 ($15k) for the purpose of stealing, really?
Stealing valuables from inside the car, well a starter kill won't do anything about it either.
Even with a starter kill because you don't have faith in a factory immobilizer: A) One of those high-tech thieves that can get by the immobilizer can get by a low-tech starter kill, and B) A thief with brains and/or money would probably just tow your car/truck away.
