The irony of a penal colony turning into a police state is strong, lol.

She says, "Go Baby, go!". That woman is trouble. Anyone else rooting for them to make a clean escape? LOL

What baffles me is how criminal dipshits are able to defeat all the car's antitheft systems? I know a lot about cars and not certain I could beat the locks, alarms, and immobilizers, given a whole day to do it, let alone 10 minutes.

I've seen Ring video of people stealing a Hellcat in a person's driveway, while one of the gang points a gun at the residence front door. That's some scary stuff.

I know nothing about cars, but wouldn't it be easily done the old fashioned way, as in steal the keys?

I do however, know about IT and multi-factor authentication - utilizing biometrics so the car can recognize it's owner is totally doable with current technology and it would be pretty easy to implement without needing to modify any hardware on the vehicle. It's just a matter of software.

This! It could be done properly without resorting to datamining phone apps and cloud crap. However, higher management at car companies don't have the faintest idea about software or how to create a software company (division).
