avoiding dealer costs in getting new keys?

As long as you're not that bothered about it being stolen, or receiving
any payout from your insurance, then go for it.

The insurer won't know if it's nicked.

If it is recovered damaged, they may start to question how it was started.

On the assumption that there is still a "trade" in stolen cars

just how do they get them started? (just generally, no specifics required)

Or alternatively, if the tech improvements mean that cars are now
un-stealable (except on a low loader), there won't be any scroets roaming
the street looking for a car to steal, will there?
