My sister's a copper and works on a team that go after the gangs that do this. Lots of fancy cars with keyless entry are vulnerable.
My understanding is that the main method to gain access to the car is to 'jam' the locking signal in a big car park (shopping centres etc) so you think you've locked it but you haven't. This gives them access to the car and they can then somehow get it going and clone the key at their leisure (dunno how this bit works). I believe BMW, Range Rovers etc are/were affected.
