The next video shows thieves silently steal an expensive electric Tesla car off the owner's drive once they figured out how to disconnect its charger.
How did they do that? One thief holds up a bag containing a special receiver that picks up a signal being transmitted from the car's fob. The fob could be by the front door. The signal is then transmitted from the first thief's device to the second thief's device. This thief is standing next to the car he wants to steal. The car thinks the owner is standing next to it with the correct fob and unlocks the doors and allows its "start" button to start the engine. The thieves completely compromise the car's high-tech security by simply re-broadcasting the fob's signal to within the proximity of the car's own receiver.The BBC reported that thieves stole a £40,000 car in Southend. It took only moments as you can see in the CCTV footage in the article. (Link opens in new tab)
There are many other CCTV videos on the Internet showing how vulnerable modern cars are to being stolen if they use keyless entry and start.
