Burglar trapping keys

With people breaking into houses in order to go after car keys isn't there more things technology can do to help short of expensive trackers?
First thoughts include fake keys that set off alarms and/or trigger die packs to mark the hands of thieves.
Easier connectivity between house and car alarms so a silent alarm on a house triggers a car immobiliser.

Two-factor auth on car ignition systems?

I seem to remember my mates dad's car had a keypad immobiliser on it. You had to enter a pin to start the car. And that was a Fiat people carrier back in the 90s! How come this didn't catch on?

Finger print readers are on £300 laptops now, surely they could be added to a car that costs 20x that much...

Really awesome ideas! Integrating technology with security can really help in deterring motor vehicle thieves. On the other hand, a good idea would be use of fake keys which activates alarms or dies packs if removed from cars. Also integrating home and car alarms may act as an added layer of protection. A case in point would be a silent alarm that activates a car immobilizer to prevent the robber from absconding with the stolen vehicle. It is worth mentioning that having a reliable lockout service manhattan can save your life when you lose your keys or get locked out since return of access should be quick and safe without compromising safety at all.
