not just England but Europe-wide. most people leave their keys on a table once they enter their house. the thieves use an amplifier to boost the keyfob's signal so that the car thinks the owner is next to the car. the thief can unlock the car, start it up, and drive away. one way to prevent this is to keep the fob as far away from the car as possible when you go home or buy a signal blocking bag or box to put them in.
