A transponder chip (pictured below) is a tiny microchip inside the head of your car key that transmits an electronic signal to your car's computer when it's turned on and start the engine. The signal is transmitted through an antenna ring around the ignition cylinder, and must be accepted by your car in order for it to be able to start. The immobilizer mechanism is activated if your vehicle is unable to recognize the signal generated by your key.

By simply placing an electrical wire around the barrel of your ignition they could fool the car's computer into believing that a valid key was being used and allow the vehicle to begin.
