    @postmanbill: some people leave them in easy reach as an alternative to these people breaking into their house and terrorising their families for the keys to a piece of rolling metal on their driveway.

    @wacker macker: just not in the ignition ha, as it is a criminal offence to leave your keys in the ignition while your car is unattended.
