How in this modern day is this still possible.
I thought (wrongly obviously) that with self locking/ keyless entry/ computer technology that this would not be possible. Now I dont need or want intimate details that some scumbag (visiting) this forum might use to do the same. just find it all strange.

Tow truck. Or break in and steal keys off your key rack.

Mostly they steal the keys.
Very common where I used to live in Brisbane. Despite being a high crime area, all the people living there thought it was a lovely little community and always leave their doors unlocked (my girlfriend included), and people tend to drop their car keys pretty close to the front door. |

Usually in a bowl advertising the fact. Look in here this is where all the keys are.

Yes this is another great idea like the eftpos swipe...great ideas ujntil something happens..an u cant find it then its **** should i cancel my card or keep looking knowing sum thief could be swiping away every last cent in your account...an now keyless entry /start the problem is because the signal carrys so far 2-3 km from the master keychip..you could be in bed but close enough for car thief to get the signal to start the car...is all this technology we have access to really worth it

Put the keys in a tin box or even a tinfoil chip packet. That will stop the signal. Yes I know you shouldn't have to do this but the manufacturers are putting this sort of rubbish in more and more cars.
