Unless people know that they're your keys and they've stolen them to steal your car because they know them keys are for that car.
I'd be worried if you have remote central locking.
best of luck finding them again, personally, if I knew someone had nicked my keys, I'd break the window as it's only £15 to replace from the scrapyard and change the locks on it. Just to be sure, I'd rather break the window and have the costs of replacing the locks than lose a car that I like.

Where is the spare key?
Personally i would have been phoning someone sober to get the spare key and move the car.

I don't have a spare if only it was that easy!
Luckily one of my mates just rang and they're in his jacket pocket, incidentally he helped me look for them for about an hour

Is your alarm and imobiliser factory fitted? If so then your correct. The dash lights will still come on but it wont start.
If it has been fitted as a add on you can still start it.

It's an aftermarket alarm, my point being, while it may be possible to start it, they won't have time, the alarm will go off and I'll be out there chasing them away. lol
Anyway, you can wire a very simple hidden immobiliser, just take one of the fuel relay wires or something (idk), wire in a switch and hide the switch from sight. Which would stop the car starting and that's "aftermarket".
