  1. I know old story ,programmers are tablets they can have passwords, if you want mine does and how they cutting keys ,if they are doing push starts still not that easy they better watch a lot of Youtube videos. Need more than that tablet he was holding. Easier to steel car when owner is just getting in it than sitting in it for 10-30minutes doing a all keys lost in someones driveway. Oh yeah still have to pick door lock and open door then program it while alarm is going off good luck. Have friend video it to see how many hits you get.

  2. They stole a Xtool tho🤣. They talk as if they couldn't just buy one. Anyone can buy a programmer but not everyone can cut keys that will turn the ignition. But if it's a push-to-start vehicle and it's a non-European car they can easily steal it. If you have an older car that uses a chip and a key blade you are safe.

  3. If your car owner and you're worried about this. A old school trick is your best defense. Hiding a kill switch to the fuel pump. Cost you less than a hundred bucks and when a thief tries to crank your car but it will not run they will move to the next one.
