I don't dare leave anything in my car that might be of interest to one of our many local car clouters. That includes any personal info.

I figure it's worth it for peace of mind to take my car key, drivers license, auto insurance card, auto registration, one credit card, debit card, a couple of $5 and a $20 bill, and a small piece of paper with emergency contact, medical and health insurance info on it. Total in a zippered snack bag is 1.8 oz. All other ID is left at home.

Re the car key, I take just the key, not the electronic remote gizmo which, as BZH points out, weighs more than the key.

Also, while on the trail, I treat my backpack as my purse and never leave it alone!
