I totally agree. First time I've heard of anyone doing this. If nothing else, why not just put a key rack on the inside of your house near the door to your garage if you want to keep them close to your car?Shinigami said:
As a side note...In our area, lots of cars are stolen when people leave their cars running to warm them up. They finally passed a law to fine people whose cars are stolen if the police can prove that they left them unattended with the keys in the ignition. You may have heard recently about the 9-year old kid who commandeered his mom's car and hopped a plane to Texas. He was from around here. Now he's in lots of hot water.
