I assume there is a relative advantage for the cars with the comfort access, though nothing is good enough against a determined thief. I feel I am safe enough just because I never park at all anywhere other than my condo's garage or the one at work, both underground with physical security plus cameras. When I move and conditions change I will remember what just goes on in UK for sure.
