Just spewing some stuff I remember reading in that police forum thread.

Best to lock keys in trunk.

That's BS. To win a case they need to prove intent. Having keys I'm my jacket pocket while I am laid out in the back seat is not intent. Just saying that I might drive when they leave is not enough. I might break into futureshop when no one is working, standing outside the store is not intent.
