I wonder if the keys were in it when it was stolen

I just shake my head when I quite often see a car left running in front of a convenience store while someone runs in for "just a minute." If the person that owned the vehicle left the keys in it or left it running they have learned an expensive and hard lesson.

I don't trust anyone. I take the keys out of the ignition and put them in my pocket even when pumping gas. Especially after I left the keys in the truck while talking to a neighbor one day and my dog stepped on the lock button and locked me out of the truck.

I'll bet a spare key for your truck would run you $300 at a locksmith if you have to unlock it with that key. Mine has a fob & it was $80. The dealer never mailed me a spare like he said he would.

We got two fobs with the truck when it was new and I have since had a metal key cut that fits just the doors and carry it in my wallet. Just yesterday we saw an elderly gentleman that walked with a walker sitting just inside the door, really stressed out and upset. He didn't leave his brand new Escalade running but he DID lock the keys in it and didn't have a spare. I felt sorry for him. He had to be ninety five if he was a day and he was terribly upset.

When the dog locked the door on my truck, the neighbor with whom I was chatting when it happened told me that his son had to $150 for an "unlock call" plus mileage if it was over a certain distance. He reminded me that the unlock key that is contained in the bottom of my fob doesn't do any good if the fob is locked in the truck. I had a regular flat brass key made that fits in a pocket of my wallet.
