This sucks, sorry to hear. I am wondering how they pulled that off with the type of keys/security we have on the G. Oh well, maybe this is a chance to refresh or upgrade your ride. I am not sure you would want the car back even if they recover it, I probably would not.

It is like VPN RSA SecurID, which would make it almost impossible to hack through just by obtaining one code of the millions that it dynamically changes to.
The lock/unlock feature may be a static code (not sure,) but the ignition is on a rolling code system. The other method would that the thief had a spare key and had a CONSULT III computer system and was able to pair the new key to the car.

Door were locked and I have both set of keys in my possession. They probably used a regular tow truck to get it. I think that someone in security must have been in on it.

I doubt this. Maybe like a rare few have this, but I believe the code is not static, but a rolling code. The thieves would have to somehow obtain a rolling code sequence.

Bummer. I had a first gen Tacoma a while back in which I wired a simple but (very) hidden toggle switch in series with the clutch cancel button (in the dash) and clutch depressed switch (on the floor). No switch = no start, and I don't think it would have been easy to defeat without finding it. Seemed to me a bad actor would have to get into the wire loom to jumper things. AFAIK I never had an attempted theft but it was nice, cheap and easy insurance. On the G though I'm sure it'd be more complicated but probably not a whole lot more - just get a wiring diagram and choose a good circuit and you'd be golden.
