May I suggest that you exchange keys with the one at your friend's house now and then... just to refresh the codes?

and if you insist on leaving the keys around...really, get a lockbox for them, as burglars love to take all your stuff and then drive away in your car with it. At least attempt to create a hiding place for your keys. Oh well, that's what insurance is for....

I did have some guys in front of my house trying to take my car one night....I took care of their vehicle and they all ran. My neighbors have the holes in their block walls to prove it. I used 6 rounds of ammo, and I got their jacks, flashlights and lug wrenches they were using to try and get the wheels off my Altima. I don't buy fancy wheels anymore.
BTW, I love my world.

That's really nice but you're either in denial (nothing will happen) or very naive! It'll only take one break-in to change your thoughts. I used to be like that (way back in the 70's) local kids got in to my shop, took every power tool (except a table saw) I owned and hocked them at a local pawn shop. Cost me over $200 to get those back that I could and another $200 to replace those I couldn't. 
Since then I don't leave my doors or windows unlocked, and when I go anywhere, even for 10 minutes, everything is closed and locked up. I've never had another loss since either. Just smart in this day and age. . .
