#1 I have a nice key that will unlock my F150's cab and even turn the ignition on. However, it can't start the vehicle. The cited system doesn't work for transponder-type keys, which most Ford vehicles have needed for over 10 years. If a car thief really wants your vehicle, he will simply tow it away.

#2 Tow lift bar on the back, grab it in a hurry and pull round the block, then pull it the rest of the way up onto the flat bed. 30 seconds is all they need if they really want it - repo guys do it all the time.
