The thieves were somehow scanning houses for the key and then somehow repeating/amplifying the signal to fool the car into thinking they had the key on them.
This would allow them to get in and start the car and drive off. They would not be able to start it again once away from the owner's premises; so assumption they were being stolen for parts...
If I remember correctly...

That is correct, I saw this too... I wonder how far can the car drive without the key though. Would the car stop at some point? If thieves come with another larger vehicle then it would be the way for them to run away with it...
