all I know is if you got the car started, then you proceed to get out of the car, someone can jump in and drive it as far is they want, plus getting gas can be dome without the car shutting off anyways...

Hopefully this is not a ture, but from what I hear, it is not really that hard to steal our toys!!!

All they need to do is to have a set of on-board-computer along with the matched key, then all they need to do is break in and replaced the on-board-computer with theirs.

Hopefully is only a myth, otherwise we are all in trouble!!!
