I almost took off in another person's Suzuki Samuri once. It was in a parking lot in the same spot, just the very next row over. It was the same color, same trim, everything. I just walked up, stuck the key in, unlocked the door, threw the crap in the back seat, started it up, and then freaked.samtzu wrote:Not weird... I worked for a MAJOR truck mfg. co. and there are only, at the most, fifty different keycodes for all of their vehicles. Translate that to several million vehicles that are on the road right now, and you have a very good receipe for disaster...Chai Guy wrote:On the subject of "keys being lost" I had a campmate lock her keys in her car. Somebody found a slim jim and we tried for about a half hour to open the door to no avail. Finally another camp mate rode up on his bike and said "Hey, is that a Ford?" we said YEP, and he ran and got his car keys, we thought he was crazy, but guess what? His key fit the other car's lock! It should also be noted that both of these cars were Ford rental cars (rented from different companies in different states) one was a mini van the other a sedan, but same year (2003) cars and the locks were keyed the same. Weird huh?
"Holy shit! Someone has broken into my car. And...left...crap...pink crap...and....custom cup holders?"
Got out and seen my car. Ssoooooooo tempted to do something to mess with their heads, but couldn't think of something on the spot. Too little time.
