Also, couldn't the BLE beacon be used by "smash and grab" thieves to find devices in your car?

Yes, and this is already happening due to the feature that Macbooks have to connect to eg. BL keyboards and mouses. Perhaps also the "Smart Sleep" function (not sure what it's called exactly) that periodically connects to Wifi to fetch emails so they're there when you open your Mac again. This has happened to me and other folks here in NL, by the way.
