Hello,
Just thought that I should share this news story from Miami channel 7.

Apparently thieves may have found a way to either clone a FOB (doubtful as it should be in sleep mode based on what I gather from the article).

This is purely speculation on my part, but they (thieves) may have found a way to read from the cars CANBUS system or the owner may have been in a compromised position to allow thieves to capture transmission data at another instance/time/place between the FOB and car.
From the report the thieves parked at the end of the victims driveway and the car apparently chirped and they returned about 1 hour later walked up and opened the door and drove off with the owners C8.
