I've got 3 sets on me, lol

The two factory keys, my flip key.. and two spares at home (one so dad can move my truck if he needs to) and another in hiding, lol

So what's wrong with a key in a magnetic box, well hidden??

I'll tell you what's wrong with those. I had one of those under my car, very well secured, and never had the need to use it for a year (This was on my old car, pretty low to the ground). One day I'm driving and go over a railroad track and I hear the little box fly off and hit the road beneath. Too busy of traffic to get out and retreive it without dying, so I drive on. Later thatnight I locked my keys inside, in the pouring rain. It was a fun day!

Also, carrying spares on you doesn't hurt... For the $3 or so it costs to get a key cut, I don't see why a lot of people seem to never have a spare on hand, lol
Probably because they locked their spares in, too!

I feel your pain, but please consider that the box's placement is important. I've not had one fly off in 20+ years of using them.

i'd say doors have quite some play to them so if you have a wedge stick that between the door and roof then use something long to hit unlock. i always have a spare on me incase i lock myself out. two sets of keys is a good idea
