> and request a duplicate key based on the VIN #.

> My friend didn't believe this e-mail, so she called a dealer and
> pretended she had lost her keys. They told her to just bring in the VIN

> device if she wanted.
>
> The Car Dealer's Parts Department will make a duplicate key from the
> VIN and collect payment from the thief who will return to your car. He

>
> All he has to do is walk up to your car, insert the key and off he goes
