True, some professionals can use the VIN number of a car to get the vehicle's key code which can be used to create a duplicate key.
However, for modern cars, that key still needs to be programmed before it can start the car. So you will also need to capture the signal from the original key in order to program a new key.
If you are driving a very old car that doesn't have modern security features, your car can be easily stolen.
For modern cars, if them mean you well, they can still steal your car too.
Watch where you park and invest in a car tracker, especially if your car costs more than 5 million naira.

Tge Engr never mentioned "how" this can be done by the thieves, all in seeing here is just that it's possible.

Is there an app that automatically imitates key fobs and can open cars, or do the thieves still have to duplicate the keys using the VIN?
