Naive, I don't think so!
No ones suggesting you present your car key too them, but if they've broken into your house for the sole purpose of stealing your car, they are going to get your car keys.
I'm all for one for protecting what's mine, but I don't want a knife pushed against my throat, or worse. I have a shotgun, and would deffo use it against someone breaking into my property, as burgulars are more frequently using violence (as they know they can get away with it) so defending myself with a Shotgun is fine as far as I'm conserned. The law stopped as soon as you stepped in my property.

However, having a Shotgun is one thing, waking up in time to get it out of the cabinet and loading it is another. Being asleep when 1-4 tooled up blokes decide to beat you to a plup or worse just for a car is something I don't want to experience.

Keep your car keys downstairs, just not in plain view of any windows.

Fine if you want to be killed for the sake of a piece of metal thats worthless in reality.

I talk from experience of people I know that have been burgked for their car, the thieves didn't run off at the first sign of noise/lights/neighbours.

In that case we follow americas example by having the paperboy chuck the papers at the house, just dont expect it to be dry when you go outside to fetch it

Who said anything about me being killed? I'm just not going to leave my keys lying around to make it easy for some tosser.

Why not go a step further and leave the keys in the ignition and the doors open FFS.

That's fine by me. I'm sure the little **** was the one who stole my dustcaps.
