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.

You don't need the keys for that on at least some makes. It can be done
via the diagnostic port using software a thief wouldn't find it hard to
get.
