Best key hide on an 80? (1 Viewer)

[BooKilla]

I placed my spare key in a 4x4x4 steel box.

I had Metaltech weld the box shut at all seams.

I burried it 10 feet down in my backyard.

I set pungee sticks (widdled sharp with poison tips) in the ground directly above it.

I covered the boobie-trap with dead leaves.

I leave my spare key taped to my windshield, that way all the criminals who do not have internet access can steal my rig without having to go to a library to do a search on Mud to find out the best place to hide a key.

Gorilla glued one of those NASA magnets to my spare key. Infinite hiding places (bumpers/frame/floor pan). I have to slide it from its hiding spot to an edge to get it off. Wheeling and freeway cruising have yet to move it.

This thread is pretty funny! I worked for AAA for well over two years when I got tired of really working. I was one of a very few they had who could open up a locked late model high-end Toyo or Lexus! They are tricky at best. They are much harder than Mercedes or BMW to break into without damage. I could get past the interior motion sensors in BMW and Mercedes, but the smart locks on Toyos would give me fits. The only car that I ever failed to unlock was a top-line Lexus sedan. Even lowly Corollas would frustrate me. Most Toyos that I unlocked were done by finding the key ring in the car and bringing the ring out of the car on a hook, thru the window. Then we would open the car with the key. Don't count on AAA to unlock your 80. Toyota locks are diabolical!
I keep my spare key in my pocket, on my key ring. It is the only key that I need. I am prone to getting distracted, tired, and even drunk on occasion, just like we all do. Because of this, I have developed nerve endings in my wallet, my phone and in my keys. With those three, I can survive anything, and I never let them go. They are my survival trio, the rest of my things are expendable. I pay attention to what is important. I am rarely to be found without my keys.

Most of the time when I broke into any Toyota, even Corollas, I did it by finding the keys with a long probe rod. I would grab the purse and turn it over on the seat with a probe. Then I would grab the key ring and tease it out of the car thru the window. If there were too many do-dads on the ring, I would turn it over and push the remote buttons to unlock the car.
