Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do on your end besides waiting for the police to recover the car. It was touched upon above, but the old 3G networks have been shut down that these vehicles relied upon for Enform. Link
If the car wasn't left unlocked, it likely was a signal booster attack. iirc, our car keys have a sleep mode that prevents that from happening by holding lock while pressing unlock twice on the fob (you can test if it works by trying to touch your door handle to unlock with the key fob in hand, if it doesnt work, its in sleep mode and you can wake it back up by pressing any of the buttons). If you left it unlocked with the key inside, recovery chances are very slim to none.

Sorry to hear about the OP's situation though, hope you get it back somehow

It doesn't work on my 2ISF, 2IS350, or 3GS460 keys fobs, unless I'm just doing it wrong...
Sounds pretty cool though.

Slight update to this post, it works on my 13 RX oddly enough, but not my 2IS. Unfortunate, but the other option is a makeshift faraday cage (aluminum foil box or something).
