The way it works is the bad guys walk up to a car and if the key is in the house in the kitchen, close to the garage it still communicates to the car. They can sniff out the signal, and use that key signal to open the doors, start it up, and drive away.

It works on Mercedes, and other high end cars.
I saw that on the news the other day and immediately put the keys to a car in the driveway into a deep dark recess of the house. The Porsches sleep in the garage so I'm not worried about them.
