Default How easy is it to steal an IS

...with the push button start system? Without the key fob, will they still be able to trip the wires in the car?

The immobilizer system makes it impossible to steal the car without a matching key.

I read somewhere that it could be done with a computer. Now, I'm not sure how difficult or how long it would take, but I guess it's possible.
