It would be good to get some clarity on this.

Not quite. Thieves signal the key when it is in your house and you are in bed for example. Then the key responds and they have signal repeaters which make the car think the key is nearby and then the car opens up.

So you keep your key in the pouch indoors. Or just don't have CA.

Personally having had car keys taken by burglars in 2003 under threat of violence (me just in boxers v 3 masked guys with screwdrivers) I'd want them to just take the car.

Last thing I'd want is them coming back indoors near the family, now really pissed off that the car won't start...

Or just buy a faraday bag for your keys..

Exactly. If they’ve come for the car and they mean business, just take the car. Last thing I want is some lowlife scrote skulking around my house with my wife and kids in there.
