Literally any vehicle not made with more than 4 week old tech is subject to theft, the people who write articles and pass laws don't understand anything but near as I can tell. I've worked on cars all my life, but I lost interest after my early 20s on keeping up. I can steal any vehicle built before 2000 in a few minutes, getting into seconds pre 94. The "kids today" who've worked on modern cars all their life can do this to anything new fast, it's the old junk that might slow them down.
