End of the article says...
"Until changes are made in the keyless systems, any car we buy will definitely have an ignition key that can't be copied by a laptop."
I think that last part should be CAN be copied by a laptop, right?

I wonder if the new fingerprint technology will be a better deterrent?
Like the Maxima's now have.
Funny cause I always thought that these types of cars were almost impossible to steal unless you had a Dealer Key or a tow truck. WOW.

Car thieves tend to go to the better neighborhoods to steal cars because folks in those neighborhoods seldomly have bells and whistles installed in their cars to deter theft. Most high-end cars are stolen from posh neighborhoods, then dumped in the not so posh neighborhoods.

CK - thanks for the info. I found out soon after my original post what you're saying here - that the transponder in the fob defines it as such. As for my other question, Lexus does use 40 bit encryption.
And foo, I hadn't heard that particular story, but yes, there are countless stories about insurance companies incriminating the owner long before they pay up - especially on a car with an anti theft system defined as an immobilizer, which is widely believed by insurance companies to be virtually impregnable.
