I remember a couple years ago seeing some writeup on hacking cars via CAN Bus by pulling out a headlight/ taillight, and a chorus of people here saying how it's not a feasible way to steal a car because you'd get noticed, it takes too long, blah blah blah. According to this article, that's exactly what they're doing

In the only cited instance in the article, the car wasn't stolen in the attempt because the criminals got noticed, it took too long, blah blah blah.
