Google "black box car theft". These have been in the news for about a year. Apparently they work by sucking in the signals from your remote-opening key fob, and then rebroadcasting those signals to unlock the car. Set up in a busy parking lot, you can suck in a lot of signals. Then, it's just a brute force cycle-thru-the-codes until one works on any given vehicle. Only way to defeat it (so far) is to disable the remote entry system on your car, so it only opens with a key in the lock.
