It's easy to figure out. The car was left in valet mode by the owner, a mode which is meant to only be used in lieu of handing a key to a valet. So it wasn't 'unlocked with their app', it already was unlocked and ready to drive. This is no different to someone leaving their keys in the ignition of a normal car.

Ford had around 30 different door key cuts in the same time frame. The likelihood you could open any passing Ford was pretty high. Made working opening lockouts a pretty easy but not too time consuming task to do. But in the days of 2 keys to open and then start it was still pretty secure cause even of your door key worked the ignition key probably wouldn't.
