From what I've read, Flipper's are NOT the source of the stolen car epidemic, new cars apparently use rolling codes, so capturing someone's code is useless, unless it's a fairly old car.

Correct, as they come from the manufacturer they cannot unlock and start a modern car. They are good at cloning RFID and with different modules hack wifi and what not. Great at changing the channel at a sports bar or airport!
They are no different than the little Pi kits or anything else, but they do come in a small case with lots of capability from the factory.
My daughter has one.
You can buy different modules for them and root them for different purposes, but as stated, they are not any differnt than the hobbyist Pi kits.
Professinal kits can do a whole lot more and are far more expensive!
