Years ago there were threads about David Beckham's X5 getting stolen using a similar hack. Although I think they actually cracked the encryption rather than hijacking his key signal directly.
Anyway, this is nothing new. Pretty much any modern electronic convenience makes us more vulnerable to crime. It is just a matter of how large or small the risk is. I consider this one pretty low on the scale at this point in time compared to something like credit card theft or WIFI hacking, etc. Granted the financial impact of this has the potential to be much larger for an individual, but I that's why we have insurance.
