NICB doesn’t seem to provide statistics on how many vehicles were stolen with keys, but I would be willing to bet the statistics for late model vehicles directly correlates to a specific vehicle’s abundance rather than its ability to be stolen. Regardless, this was the quote from NICB.org
““The increase in vehicle thefts over the past two years should be a reminder that drivers must do their part to protect their vehicles,” said NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. “Anti-theft systems in newer model cars and trucks are excellent, but they don’t work if you don’t use them. Far too many thefts occur because the vehicle is left unlocked and the key or fob is inside. Taking the time to lock it up every time you leave it can save a whole lot of headache and expense in the long run.””
Yep, it blows my mind when people question why their running, unlocked car was "stolen" out of their driveway.
