Whether this suspect didn't know or didn't care he was caught on camera.

"You can see the guy clearly holding up and iPad type of device it lights up he's touching things, and tries a door does it again and tries a door, first 2 cars it didn't work, and on my car it did,” White said.

White says it appears he's using some kind of electronic device near the door handle to unlock the driver’s side door.

"There's another one, it works if it's within so many feet of the key fob it will pick up radio waves from it and read the code and program it off of that,” White said.

He didn't get away with much. White said he actually left most of the expensive stuff behind, but he wants people to be aware in case they could become the next target.

"Just because you have a newer car, doesn't mean you're getting away from somebody breaking into your car, there's still the tech out there to do it, they're gonna make money doing it."
