Yes, if you park your car outside your house on the drive, and the key is in the house in a bowl by the door (for example) then they can steal the car in the middle of the night..

This is worse in the UK, as we have much less space, so things are much closer togeather (ie. the car, and the keys (where they are left overnight).

We now keep our keys in this bag[0] to (hopefully) prevent this. With the key in the bag I'm unable to unlock the car even with it right on the door.
