Two thieves revealed how they can steal a keyless car in less than 20 seconds for a £5,000 fee, before mocking their victims.
The two men used just one device to unlock the vehicle and drive away in the clip filmed for Channel 4's latest Dispatches programme, Britain's Car Theft Gangs Exposed.
Thief 'T' and an accomplice demonstrated how they use an amplifier, which looks similar to a radio or walkie-talkie, to pick up the signal from the 'key' inside a home and use it to unlock a car parked outside.
The device works by scrambling the signal from a remote key fob, and was used in nearly 60 percent of car thefts in the UK last year.
The two men, dressed in black and wearing balaclavas, demonstrated the technique on a car they claimed to have already stolen after placing the key fob in the living room of a property.
