Um.... You don't even need the flipper zero to steal a car. I'm not even sure it's strong enough to emulate the key.

Pretty sure you can't even use the Flipper in the way thieves are using cheap alibaba radio amplifiers on the proximity fobs that people keep near their front door...

One question, has the Canadian police actually arrested people using the flipper to steal cars?

How hard would it be to make a similar device?
