If we are talking about an expensive brand of a car with keyless access, hijackers read codes from the owner’s key using special devices. Most often, such thefts occur in crowded places when the driver is at a small distance from his car. At the same time, expensive cars are more often stolen for resale, and budget ones – for parsing for spare parts.
