I wonder how many of these same folks had garage door openers in these unlocked cars, and behind said garage door was an UNLOCKED pass through into the house?

On a different angle, I’ve wondered how easy it would be to rig a parked car such that after a thief got inside, it would lock up and prevent escape. I could see some entertainment value in setting a trap like that.
There is a whole TV series about this thing - Bait Car

It is pretty amusing....it was originally based on catching car thieves, but would have the same effect on burglars if they closed the door.
