2. No ignition

Modern vehicles have immobilisers that stop your car from starting if the key doesn't match the one that is programmed into it. This is done by sending a transponder number from the key to the immobiliser which then compares it to the ones stored inside it. If the codes are the same, the engine will start. This system could fail for various reasons, such as a stolen or lost key or transponder that is damaged or one that is not coded, or electrical issues like a damaged immobiliser antenna wire, which surrounds the ignition cylinder. It's also possible that the codes are being confused by multiple keys, for example, having a spare key or a car with two transponders within the same key.

Therefore, if the immobiliser fails to work correctly, it may be impossible to start the vehicle, which would give thieves the impression that it's a malfunctioning system and they'll be able to leave with your pride and joy.
