I'm suprised at the amount of people who are putting themselves and their families at risk by taking their keys to bed with them.
I never take mine to bed with me anymore, as the last thing i want to wake upto is a thug with a large hammer requesting the keys to my car - it happens!!! It's a lump of tin at the end of the day!!!

Yes, I agree. It's far better to leave the keys open on view to make life much easier for criminals. Indeed I leave my Impreza overnight with the doors open and the keys in the ignition to stop would be burglars soley after my keys.

Sorry Bren, but you made me smile with your "no wheel" story, now they'll bring one in-case..... Sorry !
Long ago I had an Imp, just took the wheel off every time I parked, call me Stig with my wheel in my hand....

I never said leave the keys in open view because that's just plain crazy If someone breaks into your house and decides to use your head (or your wife's/children's) as target practice with a hammer until you give up your keys i'm sure your attitude will change.
As i said - a while ago, i used to take my keys to bed with me, but as time has gone on, you hear of more and more people losing their cars in violent circumstances - i for one, don't want to be another one of these statistics

i live in a good area (by steven g), but when i take my car out its not a good area (liverpool). the car im about to buy has a cat 1 alarm and imoblisor. but strangly it has another imobilser one where you press this fob in to metal before you start the car. im looking for a tracker but seen as the cars worth £2k and my excess is £700 i think theres no point in buying a £500 tracker.

but i hear all steeling locks are easy to get pasted????

funny my m8s jag kept on being broken into so he changed his ignition to the ciggy lighter so you press started the ciggy lighter to start the car.

Luckily it was cat 1 so was immobilised but if it had not been it would have been gone. Had a look at whats needed to start it and its rediculously easy to get away with one without an immobiliser.
