Yup. A Land Rover was stolen right near my house in broad daylight and I live in a very good neighbourhood. Cops came by and asked me if I had home cameras, but they explained to me this is very common. High-end SUVs are targeted and this is run by organized crime. Cars are overseas within days to be re-sold.

The thief just hangs around the target, waits for the fob to be used, clones the signal and can steal the car within 3 minutes.

The problem is so pervasive that Land Rover offers discounts to previous customers who are victims of theft:
