But they didn’t take the keyfob, surely that’s just stupidity.

Amazing. Why didn't they think of that?

Car needs to be connected to server for this to work and it's a backup method built on top of remote access. Primary method is keyfob.

I mean, the guy didn't bring the key with him. That's kind of his fault, there.
