My son is a great kid. His twin sister is in Nashville visiting my oldest and just playing on spring break, and left her Jeep here. (She and her roommate went together, rode in her car).
So my son decides he'll drive her Jeep to work Sunday, and fill her tank up with gas. (He always has money; she's always broke).
He drives it to Walmart and goes in to get something before work. Locks the car. But locks it using the door locks, rather than the key (or something like that). Anyway, it activates the anti-theft system, so when he opens the car again, the flashers go off, and the car won't start. Only way it can be deactivated is with the remote control--which, of course, is in Nashville. (He only has a spare key).
So I research, and find on Youtube a video of a guy with the same car and the same issue. He takes a spare key, puts it in the passenger door, clicks it forward and leaves it there. Inserts a 2nd key into the ignition, and it dutifully starts right up.
So I head to Walmart with two keys, insert one into the passenger door, turn it forward, insert a 2nd key into the ignition--Vroom, starts right up.
Hope the thieves don't watch the same Youtube video :).
