IDK about "far outside the realm of the typical car thief". Not that the typical car thief is going to be trailblazing the research, but once the research is done, it just takes someone putting a black box VW keyless unlocker together, and then it's in the realm of the typical car thief. In fact, at that point you're talking about the break in being the simplest part of the theft, with fencing being much more difficult.
