I do carry a spare though, and I have to get one for my new car. I
have a house key hidden too. I've needed it a couple of times over

You are aware, I trust, that burglars are quite familiar with the "fake

rocks"
(which are actually pretty damned easy to spot), and the old "under the
doormat" trick.

When we lived out in the country, we had a "hiding place" for the spare

house
key that was about as secure as any hiding place could be: on the dog's
collar.
Not if they shoot the dog.

Well, of course they'd have to know that's where the key was before it would
do them any good -- and, as shaggy as that dog was, you'd have to know the key
was there before you could find it.


Like they even need a key to get in.

Exactly. The spare key on the dog's collar was mostly for our own convenience,
so that we wouldn't have to smash a window if we locked ourselves out
accidentally.
