There is a lot of talk about prevent car theft and how modern cars are so hard to steal thieves target getting the keys to steal the car.

Now aways back I worked for a company and when making trips was assigned a car from a pool (I didn't qualify for a permanent car). One was (I think) a Citroen. This car's security required, insert key and turn ignition on, open panel and enter PIN, start engine.

This 2 factor security seems like a great idea. Even if the rotters did get your keys they couldn't steal the car without the PIN. The down side is that someone who really wanted your car would now target you as well but it would stop a fair number of thefts.

What do folk on here think?
