Hotwiring a car, especially an older Subaru, is fairly simple if you know what you're looking for.
A key to any subaru can be obtained from the Subaru dealership with just the vin number. The dealership is supposed to verify ownership before cutting the key, but many don't.
Back in 2002, a truck hauling a trailer with two GM concept cars was stolen from a hotel parking lot. The thieves went to the hotel, got the vin number from the truck, went to a local dealership, and the dealer cut a key to the truck for them without question. They never located the stolen concept cars.
