A Relay attack is a form of keyless car theft. Criminals bypass keyless entry security by extending the signal of the car key inside the house.

      probably yep. Also installing an aftermarket gps connected to ignition could have helped avoid this: the gps would warn the owner of the car unexpected movement but also would shutdown the car when it leaves a predetermined area set by the owner
