There’s a new form of keyless car theft that works in under 2 minutes – Ars Technica

Dam. I hate thieves! I work hard and follow the rules for what I have. Only to be stolen in less than 2 min from a person who has a different definition of working hard.

I always believed, anything digital can be hacked given the right tools. And the vid is one more proof that it can.
I remember seeing a vid, car had wheel boot, a steering wheel club, an alarm system, etc.
The only thing that stopped the thieves on that moment was a hidden $3 off and on toggle switch.
An with the right knowledge, thieves can bypass even that. Although NOT in 2 min like in the vid with a 2021 Rav4.
