The windows rolled down and the key in the ignition. Also note that you can see such a car and not steal it, but if you send a GET request to a server and it responds, you've already "stolen" the data. The mere act of looking at the car and seeing the windows down is criminal now.
So maybe the analogy works better like this: You're blind and walking around. Suddenly you get to some random car. Being a curious person you touch it to feel what kind of car it is and, in doing so, discover that the windows are rolled down. Reaching inside you also feel that the key is in the ignition. Then the question is, should you go to jail for attempting to steal the car (imagine that blind people are excellent drivers). You certainly did the exact same motions that a car thief would. Which are the exact same motions that a car enthusiast and curious person would do. The analogy breaks down about here, since the guy in the story copied the car by touching it, which we can't do yet.
