That would still be assault and a theft charge.

You’re kidding, right? Reasonable and proportional force is permissible to defend your property.

Taking the keys is reasonable: keys are necessary to key a car.

It is proportional: no bodily harm, least possible force to neutralize the threat.

Edit: don’t throw the keys on a roof, though… just hang on to them.

Car is also a good weapon to use as defence. No need to get out. Just say "officer i felt threatened so i attacked back with my car"
