Default 2nd copy of car keys and fob?

When you go out of town?



Before I had a fob, I carried a second car key for 10 or 20 years, but I
stopped a while ago. I have a spare housekey and carkey buried in my
yard somewhere, but I've never trusted magnetic keyholders for cars. I
thought either it would fall off or someone would find it, since there
are so few good places to put it. So I carried the dupe in my pocket.


My recent model upscale ride has keyless ignition and proximity sensors.
With the fob in my pocket, locked front doors open when I grab either
handle and the trunk opens when I touch its hidden sensor.
