M.
Still, take a stab at how many people have this knowledge?
I live in a city of roughly 1 million people. Let's say there are maybe a dozen locksmiths in my town, I'll be generous and say 6 dealerships per make (10 makes of car?), so 60 dealerships with a staff of a dozen mechanics each, so 720. Auto theft rates are low, maybe we have 100 thieves who know how to do this really well.. so in total there's about 850 who you could say have the tools and a thorough know-how or 0.085% of the population.
I suppose that could be increased if you add in people who read an article on the web about it.
Not saying its not easy, just that I don't think there are a huge number of people who are aware and who have done it or would be able to do it given the scenario.
