Thank you all for the very interesting comments and ideas. It seems the real issue is preventing access to the car interior, as any thief who gets in and then cannot drive it will trash the interior - here in UK most dodgy guys carry knives but I guess a frustrated thief might just trash the exterior if stopped from getting in it?
Maybe replacing the door lock with a second hand one with a different key and keeping the original key for the ignition and having both keys recoded to activate or undo the electrical locking system? Although, this is a messy solution
Also on my car, the front and rear boot levers have remained locked on until the car is driven or the switch played with the light staying on.
