You pick the lock or break the window. You can't drive them off either even if you pick or pull the lock or hot wire it (if that's even possible anymore, I doubt it - you'd have to fool the ECC) because every car's got RFID chipped keys now.

Probably someone make one and threw it away when they realized they couldn't actually open any car made since 1985 with it.
