    I dont know...these days they break into your house and rob your car keys....so presumably the key for the lock will be on the same set of keys....chances are the ****ers will spot it and unlock it.....but could slow them down those vital seconds so that they're disturbed.....

    Most cars for the last 10 years or so have immobilisers so it is almost impossible to start them without the key.

    If your car is that valuable to a thief he will not waste time trying to bypass the immobiliser, he will instead go for the keys.

    I was just about to say the same thing as above.
    If you love your car that much, then a tracking system might be worth looking into.
