Requiring the key fob to be activated in some way would prevent a good number of these attacks. For instance, a capacitive sensor could be installed on the fob that would only begin transmission when picked up by someone's hand and cease wireless transmission after some timeframe, say 2 minutes. This would at least stop many of the burglaries that occur at night when people are at home.
