Actually, it can be prevented, at least the window rolling down part. You just have to access the wiring and disable the link between the door lock and the window (don't recall exactly how). Saw this on an FX forum a while back as they were having their windows rolled down with the screwdriver in the lock trick. Problem is that it won't stop someone from trying and damaging your door/handle.

I would assume it doesn't have the keyhole like our passenger side, since it is RHD. Might be something to check into, anyway. Just make sure you don't lose your fob and hide an extra battery somewhere...
