I'm not saying that someone at the garage stole her car, but was simply wondering that once a remote is installed, if it,s easier for a robber to steal the car.
Without a key, how can the stiring wheel turn, so that they can drive away with it....?

first of all i am not a thief lol, cars that are a few years old are very simple to hot wire... give me 2 minutes and I could be on my way... now cars with a chip in the key may be a little different however, never tried it on newer vehicles... but if the remote starter wires were crossed to start the car and the remote starter ecu contains the code the car ecu needs i suppose it would be pretty simple... maybe i should try to steal my own car for fun! oh and steering wheel locks (like all other locks) are made for honest people only and can easily be defeated.

think about it... if i am a thief i dont want to steal a car that stands out, i want to blend in with the crowd... he/she would be in a "sea" of corollas on the road
