Topic: Lost key for car

[patentlymn]

I have a 2002 Saturn SC2 that I never sold and had not been in for a long time.. I needed to start it but cannot find the keys. I searched everywhere.  So I called around. The GM dealer said they would cut a key based on the original key if I had the title and ID. So I took both to the dealer. They charged $75 for looking it up and around $20 for  a key. I hoped the original key had not been changed.

I went to try out the key.  The original  key was in the ignition!!!  Both keys worked.

Well, leaving the key in the ignition...at the airport...after playing demolition derby with it and removing all identifiers used to be a way of getting rid of an old unwanted beater...or so I heard...

Guess this was just sitting on your property, eh?

Yes on my property.
I recall some guy murdered his wife and left her body in a Kmart near Lake Street near 35W in Minneapolis.
In the trunk with keys in the vehicle.
He was hoping some person, likely black, would steal it.
They failed at this job.
