Well, usually they will work for a spell - I think on the Lexus it was 20 minutes (for 'accessories' to operate, after which you'd have to turn the key at least to ACC again). Now, I've never had a garage that had a window, although that's an interesting point.
On the other hand, knowing a thing or two about security (mostly of the data kind, but still).. If you cannot maintain physical security, the rest is just fluff anyway.
So even the Lexus method wasn't bad, it was for convenience, with security still a factor. If I can break in, well.. But if I shut off after 20 minutes and make you use your key, I have some security. If the bad guy has your key, well.. You're kind of screwed anyway.
