A couple things -
Your key fob is constantly sending out a signal, looking for the car. That signal can be boosted with a simple machine bought on the internet. It then clones that signal and can send it back out (without the key). It's like a wifi booster.
Additionally, there are even more sophisticated machines that don't need the key fob nearby to clone the signal.
Kia and Hyundai use a particular key fob technology that is easy to clone. there are youtube videos on how to do it. There's a reason Kia and Hyundai have six vehicles on the top 10 most stolen list.
