Does the one who steals a car from the street count as having stolen it from a secure location, such that the hadd (fixed punishment) is applied to him?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, do those who steal cars today from the house, where it is secured with doors and has an alarm, does this not count as theft from a secure location?
Answer:
No, if he breaks the door of the house and enters to take it, this is theft. But if it is in the street, it is not in a secure location; it is not in a secure location. What is in the street is not in a secure location, and closing its doors does not count as a secure location, because there are those who can unlock the doors and open them.
