It's also a lot harder to steal someone's car without already having the ability to get in and turn it on; you can't just pick it up and walk away. I also think that car security is maybe not a good standard to try to emulate, given how often they have what in my opinion might be the worst security message of all time: the car alarm. I've never once heard a car alarm and thought "aha, someone must be trying to steal that car". As far as I can tell, false positives are both much more common than true positives and literally indistinguishable to bystanders, so any time someone hears a car alarm the person causing it could just claim it's their car and they activated it by mistake and no one would question it. They're also so annoyingly loud that they disturb basically everyone on the block, and they can happen at literally any time. After around 10 seconds of a car alarm waking me up from deep sleep I would probably root for a thief to get away with taking the car just to make the sound go away.
