just how do they get them started? (just generally, no specifics required)

It's not too difficult to get an engine to run, supply it with the
right fuel mix and give it a twirl and it will run. As far as I
understand it all the electronics of an immobiliser will do is make it
difficult to get the electrics/injection powered up.

Or alternatively, if the tech improvements mean that cars are now
un-stealable (except on a low loader), there won't be any scroets roaming
the street looking for a car to steal, will there?

Presumably one can buy/replace the 'clever' bits anyway, so take the
car away on the flat-bed and then simply replace the electronics. I
don't suppose that it's all that difficult to find an unscrupulous
seller (of the electronics) or you might be able to simply get the
required bits out of a scrap car of the same or similar model.
