This is exactly what I am scared of. I dont want anyone walking away with stuff inside the car. Sometimes I leave the car parked outside on the road when I am lazy.
Moreover your link says its partially TRUE !!! which is more worrying.
I tried listening in to my keyfob's transmission on 135 Khz, 13.6Mhz. Nothing heard.
Perhaps its using some UHF freq. Used it near a HH frequency counter to sniff. But some other strong EMI signal ( from the computer / UPS iguess) in 1 - 5 mhz was being displayed. Have to try it in a quiet place. I have not bothered probing deeper into it as XYL has banned any hacking into the car. First thing she said when we booked the Xylo " Now Listen. I dont want you to hack into the car. No wires criss crossing here and there, no probing / reverse engineering whatsoever" ;-)
Now I can show this mail and start some hacking under this pretext ;-)
Wayback in 2003 I did some work on RFID, working @ 135 Khz and 13.6 Mhz. At that timeVHF\UHF RFID use was not approved in India by WPC. I did some RFID protocol work as TI gave some Libraries. We didnot work on Automotive RFID segment and that segments software required signing NDA's as it had some propriety encryption/decryption code.

OTOH, I wonder how the duplicate key makers do it. My son "beep beep" key dismantled
itself and failed. He went to a shop and they made a mech copy fist and the "chap" went
inside and did something to it where it worked without a hitch! So how do they program
it I wonder..

Normally I dont forward such stuff. But this is pretty relevant to the recent threads here.
Talking of spectrum analysers. Here is an eg of how it is being used for the wrong reasons
