In California, you are required to keep your registration with the vehicle and surrender it on demand (different debate) if a peace officer asks for it. If you didn't have it in the car, a thief would not know how to find your house.

Interesting, but narrow tip.
I dont keep my ins cards in my car. I keep them in my wallet. No one knows where I live if someone breaks into my car, and if my car is stolen, and is stopped by a police officer, there is no insurance cards in the vehicle. Now they could quickly figure out somthing is not right.
