To put numbers behind it all. I chose a random country, Italy (well not random, I lived there) and looked at Auto thefts compared to the US. Italy is worse than the US. Italy is ranked 4th worst. US is 6th worst

Auto thefts Per 100,000 Residents
Italy 475
US 390.2

I would hardly call that common. And obviously not all of these are from comfort access.
You can prove anything and nothing with statistics.
Of two F11 550i in Sweden, one was recently stolen using this method. That's a 50% risk right there..
