It's not easy! They are getting the Cadillac Escalades by breaking a window and crawling through to by-pass the alarm. These cars have no steering wheel lock and apparently it's easy to force the shifter out of park. Then another vehicle is ready to push it away to where it can be loaded onto a tow truck. Yes, anything can be stolen but some not so easily now days.

oh you only would think this should be true

working at BMW you would think the 2011 would be theft proof...but now they are having issues in Germany of guys stealing the cars in under 30 sec.
