Yeah, by breaking the window. Then they rip out the ignition cylinder and turn the electrical switch just like on old cars. They didn’t put any kind of electronics into the key to prevent this from happening. Most keys from about 1999+ have an NFC type “chip” in them that prevents the car from starting without a key that is programmed to the car.
