That's almost correct. Use the spare key to start and your normal key to lock, if it still manages to go walkabouts, you retain all your important keys that are on with your usual car key. My area probably isn't as bad as needing to do that, I just don't trust people

I wish it would up here, enough of a covering to make the traffic terrible even when the roads were all clear.
