Keyless FOB - Theft

[joefish]

I have been seeing on the News that people can scan your key and get the code then steal your car. I imagine because the FOB is always sending out a signal.
Can this happen on BMW FOBs?
I have been keeping my FOB in a Faraday bag when I am not using it.

I have been keeping my FOB in a Faraday bag when I am not using it.

The fob does not do a handshake with the bike until you press the big black ignition button on the bike.
But it's still possible to hack the electronics to steel the bike.
It's easier for a few guys to just throw the bike in the back of a truck.
