Its a convenience thing - they'd need the alarm code and get past a digi lock, not perfect but adequate.
Thanks Humph !

That recalls a breakdown I was called out to a long time ago. I think it was a Polo. Family and luggage many miles from home on holiday. Car started fine but wouldn't run...cut out straight away. When I started it and held the key in the 'run' position it was fine. When I let go it cut out. Soon realised it was the half hundredweight of keys dangling from the ring. I took them all off and it was as sweet as a nut. One of those obscure breakdowns which gave a great deal of pleasure to fix at no expense to the owner and no break in his holiday !

We used to fit identity tags to portable equipment at work with the standard rings you get on key fobs. A couple of people didn't like the tags and rings and kept removing them so the equipment would fit in their pockets easier. Tried various methods, araldite, superglue, etc, to stop people removing the tags and rings, then one day while I had the soldering iron out I discovered that the 'chrome' looking key rings soldered together very easily (where you spread them apart to slip the key on) and the solder flowed very nicely onto the 'chrome'. No more removal of tags and keyrings from the equipment.

I've got one of them and key related too. When I was 18 and still living it home my dad and I both had identical cars. One Friday night I picked him up from the pub in his car. Early Saturday morning I set off for my Saturday job in my own car stopping to buy a paper on the way. When I got back in though, I couldn't get the key to turn in the ignition. Off course I was trying to start my car with his key which I'd left in my pocket but it took me about twenty minutes of kicking, cursing and swearing before realisation very, very slowly kicked in.
