I am getting caught up on my Wall St Journels....

Once again, I am stuck in the 20th century.
Evidently, the African continent is home to 40 percent of the world's "used" cars.
Somehow, a gang can decypher the digital codes being sent out by keyless fobs, then make a device to duplicate that code and use that to steal the car. Then drive it into a container with other cars and ship the container to Africa where not alot of questions are asked.
This seems odd to me. Like a thief sees a family drive up to a restaurant , or grocery store...points an antenna at the driver, reads the code of the keyless fob, waits for the family to go into the store, then takes the car?
