The police apparently used to use a car that did that. The car would be sitting in the road (locked up), the burglar would break in, try to start it and would suddenly be locked in. The Police, presumably sitting near, would catch them.
Back on topic..
I don't know how I'd react to a burglar. I'd like to think I would be calm and rational, but I have seen the effects a burglary can have on people (an aunt was burgled, and eventually had to move house as she no longer felt safe), and wouldn't want to go through that..
