Just something to be aware of.

Another thing no one has mentioned is have your vehicle IDed. I had my 99 SD done at the local police department. They etch the windows with an ID number so they can track it if it is stolen. even if it is parted out. I intend to have the same done to my 06 SD as soon as I can

To answer your original question, you could do that. I don't know how much of a deterent it would be. My wife's vehicle comes like that. There is only one keyhole on the driver's door in case the keyless entry fails, and it's covered with a plastic piece. All the other doors and tailgate have no keyholes in them.
As for the ID'ing, my '04 came with it. I don't know if it was done by the dealer or what. It has a little sticker on the driver's side window that say's "Warning this vehicle is marked and traceable". And then has the etchings all over the place that have a serial #, and a 1-800 #.
