snyper316 Posted February 16, 2018 #1 Posted February 16, 2018 Not much to say the video will say it all. I will point out it was 36°F and windy and I was simply dropping my kids off at school... Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk
SpencerPJ Posted February 16, 2018 #2 Posted February 16, 2018 At least you left it running so she didn't get cold Locked my keys in car back in 80s. EVERY vehicle since, I've had a magnetic case with spare key hidden. Never has happened since.

I want to go back where I can leave my keys in my car and will still be there in the morning... Too much has come up missing.... Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

If you are lucky you will get the ticket, odds are the car will be gone. The city of Milwaukee has had almost 600 cars stolen already this year. I never had luck with the magnetic key holders, they always fall off. I have keys scattered all over the state. But then I do a lot of off road playing. I have my spare hey hidden and tie wrapped in place so that it will actually still be there if I ever need it. The odds of someone finding it and staling the vehicle are pretty slim.

Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk This year is only 47 days old and almost 600 cars have already been stolen. Most had the keys in them with the owner standing right there pumping gas or just running into the store for a gallon of milk or whatever or warming it up cuz it is sub zero temps. The tickets are the way they are trying to get people to stop making it easy for the thiefs. Interesting is probably a good place unless you are prone to locking yourself out of the car often. As long as interesting is not a place the requires the key to get to.

SpencerPJ Posted February 17, 2018 #9 Posted February 17, 2018 I never had luck with the magnetic key holders, they always fall off. I have never lost one. Must be all the crud up there, not that Indy is much better. They have saved my college girls a time or two as well. I like keeping them on top of the frame rail, seems to hide from elements a bit.
camos Posted February 17, 2018 #10 Posted February 17, 2018 Most people never drive without their wallet and license. For me, the best place for a spare key is in my wallet. Just in case, also have a spare key in one of the many pockets of my riding jacket.
VentureFar Posted February 18, 2018 #11 Posted February 18, 2018 Bike wise, I wear a dog tag with all my info on it when I ride and I string my spare bike key on that. Always around my neck. Carwise-I have AAA ... VentureFar... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
BlueSky Posted February 18, 2018 #12 Posted February 18, 2018 Carry two keys is the answer. My truck does have a door keypad that comes in handy sometimes.

You can not see in video but I left my keys in the cup holder there was no key in ignition. I was just dropping kids off so had lounge pants on and light jacket. Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk

I'd be willing bet the local PD in that city have a DO Not Chase policy, as well as a revolving door policy for JV offenders. Had the same issue here in Tampa, New mayor came in, had the police put the shotguns back in the racks next to the radio so they could be seen. Reinstated the chase policy, and arranged it so that every JV had to spend 48 hrs in jail before being booked and sent to the judge. Guess what, car theft dropped! 6702 auto thefts in 2002 versus 602 in 2012

Guess what, car theft dropped! 6702 auto thefts in 2002 versus 602 in 2012 You hit it. Chase speed limit is at 80 mph. In the thousands of JV auto thefts not one single felony conviction, back on the street in days and many JVs have a dozen or more times they got caught. Most that get caught are driving thru the city at 80+ so they will not be chased, and end up killing or maiming innocent people when they crash, and most do crash while flying thru red lights and stop signs at 80+. The police chief just resigned under pressure to reinstate chases, hoping for a chief that has a clue. Then we need a new DA that will actually charge these monsters with felony's and keep them off the streets. They kill people and get probation for a misdemeanor offense.
mraf Posted February 26, 2018 #16 Posted February 26, 2018 Thank god I'm a country boy. No such bs going on here. Gimme five minutes with that car thief judge! Don't worry I know were he lives.
