This is a common problem with all vehicle manufacturers with vehicles having a keyless start system. The key fob has a continually transmitting RFI signal. I believe some manufacturers are or will be offering an OFF feature for the fob to stop transmitting the signal to prevent theft when not in use. The technique involves a thief standing by your front door to capture the signal then a clone fob is programmed to unlock your doors and an ODB programmer is used to start your vehicle.
The best way to avoid someone stealing your precious ride is to place your key fob in a metal box in your house to prevent the signal from transmitting.
A good old fashioned key with an immobiliser works best but if someone really wants your vehicle they will no doubt find a way to steal it.
Good luck.
