if car locked with remote (key) alarm will go off till key put in ignition then turned to ignition on! then alarm off and you can start car!

you need to be very careful with any key! they all have a valid transponder to enable the engine!

They are just lucky they didn't do my car!

If the police will not chase them they have nothing to fear, we all have to write to the police explaining that we are happy excepting the risk of them in a car chase assuming the police drive within their "expert" limits!! why didn't they use a helicopter? I have no idea!

Our society is far too risk adverse! and these are some of the consequences of it!
