Normally, your remote car key signal will not reach from inside your house to a car outside. But, by using a 'relay box', criminals can boost the signal from your keys when the keys are away from the vehicle, spoof the exact signal - causing your car to unlock, and allowing the thief access.
How to stay safe: Try to disable your key signal while you are parked. Keep your key away from the front door. Consider keeping it in secure container - ask your manufacturer, dealer, or garage for advice.
