Peripherals register the miles, things like ABS module and stuff like that (don't quote me on ABS, I'm not sure) I just know that there are modules and parts in the car that register mileage/operating hours.

Not surprising at all. It's similarly easy to break into cars and burglarize houses. But all three are felonies that'll put you in jail with a felony record. That's what deters most people from doing it. Nothing you can do about the real criminals except prosecute when you catch them. There have been a couple of low end used car dealerships nailed out here in the past couple of years rolling back odometers. If Ferrari, or any of its dealerships, were doing this as a regular practice, they're just stupid and really need someone to explain the concept of risk/reward to them.

It can be difficult figuring out how to open the fuel door on a new Ferrari so good luck plugging that handheld into the circuitry. But dang. Time to get that Jetta waxed and some armor all on the tires.
