Wonder if one of the old, lead-lined 35mm film bags, used to travel through airports before the world went to hell in a handbasket, would work to electronically hide your keys in the house . Used one in my youth while traveling Europe to protect my film from exposure in airport scanners. Seein' as they aren't used anymore (film? WTHs film?), I wonder if they'd be listed for cheap on EBay or somewhere else.
As far as the car goes, can a FOB be detected by the car if the car battery's disconnected? If not, then that may be a secondary way to block the scenario you're describing, at least long enough to make those thieves move on.
Of course, that ain't gonna protect against us old timers with shims and hot-wire capability.
