> I suppose we should stop handing over fobs to valet parking?
I thought many (but presumably not all) cars came with "valet keys", just for that reason. I am not sure how often they are used, though.

Many (most) keyless cars don't have an ignition fallback (well, a contact fallback where the fob is inserted into a slot rather than relying on wireless signal is common, but that still requires the fob); most that I've seen have an entry fallback with a mechanical key that is normally kept in the fob.
They usual "valet keys" I've seen are for keyed ignition cars where the valet key works the ignition but not the glovebox lock.
The fob for my car has a valet key of sorts. It's so I can lock the compartments inside the car. I hand over the fob and keep the key. They may easily take the car, but dang if they'll have to work at getting that glove compartment open.
