<VV> SAVE YOUR OLD KEYS !!

[Charles Lee]

Good point ...  They never made as many different keys as there were cars, 
so you may have a key from an old car that fits some other car.

I remember a story from Long Island where a guy drove off in his 
relatively-new car from a shopping center, only to be pulled over several 
days later for driving a stolen car.

Turns out his key fit another identical car, the unfortunate owner of the 
"other" car was not "lucky" enough to find HIS car, or they may both have 
driven each others cars until they tried to sell them ?

That particular story made the news (actually "The LI Press") back in the 
60s or maybe 70s.

Key patterns are repeated often enough that this can happen, but is not very 
likely, but who knows ?  Keep your old keys anyway.

Charlie
