Road-safety advisers warn that leaving keys with attendants gives time to copy them. Stay with your keys where you can, avoid leaving the spare in the car, and consider a tracker or immobilizer so a copied key cannot easily be used to drive away.
Key takeaways
- Do not leave keys unattended.
- Keep the spare key elsewhere.
- Tracker and immobilizer add protection.
- Know who handles your car.
01What to look for before you buy
- Stay while the car is washed or hand the key to a named person only
- Never leave your spare in the car or in a visible key box

- Change locks or keys if you lose one
- Keep a record of who services your car

05Frequently asked questions
Can a copied key start a modern car?
Chipped keys need programming, but older cars can be driven with a cut key. An immobilizer helps.

It will not stop theft but helps recovery.
