Immobilizer System
When you insert your key into the ignition, it sends an ID code to a receiver within the car. If the ID code is identical to one in its memory, the car's computers allow the engine start. However, if the ID number doesn't match, it triggers an immobilizer which prevents the engine from starting.
This technology works even if your keys get stolen, but it's not foolproof. In fact, it's possible to "hack" an anti-theft system that uses radio waves. A thief could use an aerial antenna to detect the signal and then spoof it into telling the vehicle that the key is present.
