Hackers Steal Keyless BMW In Under 3 Minutes 486
An anonymous reader writes with this bit from ZDNet: "It's cool to have a keyless BMW, until you no longer have a keyless BMW. Hackers have figured out how to break into such cars with ease. BMW has acknowledged there is a problem, but is not doing enough to protect its customers (video)."

FTFY
Otherwize it might be hard to get back in if you lock the doors if you had to get access to the ignition lock ...
Of course on most older cars the door lock and the ignition lock are keyed the same for convenience of carrying one key.

That wasn't bumper cars. I think you just witnessed a Lexus mating ritual. 9 months later a new Scion will be born.
