In the Leaf's case, anyone with your VIN (ie anyone who can walk up to you car and look through the windshield) could turn on your car's AC over the internet and run the battery down. Whoops.

That is interesting, you can walk through all the VINs since it's not really private.

Sure, someone could walk up to your leaf and target you, but much easier to run through the entire string of VIN's, which, is 17 characters.
