Recently I've noticed how thieves have been trying to steal VW's in particular and I've been wondering... is it possible to steal new DSG cars such as the B7 or B8 passat or 2017 Jetta?

Thieves can steal any car very easy. No car is safe in this shithole country of us

That's why I worry , is it possible to steal these cars if you can't select any gears without the key being present?

Why would it be impossible to steal a DSG car? I am sure they are stolen just like any other 'automatic' car.

Exactly. I know 4 people who have had DSG cars stolen. 2X Mk5 GTI DSG's, one Passat TSI DSG and one Caravelle DSG.
If they want a car, they will take it. Auto 'box, DSG, manual, rocket powered, makes no difference.
