I remember researching different ways to lock my key away but when I read some reviews of this tow hitch lock box it said it was very easy to pry open with a crowbar or even a screw driver. I ultimately gave up on stashing my keys.

 

really ?? bummer!! the name is

HitchSafe HS7000 Key Vault

 

That thing rusted really bad in my buddy's truck.

 

If someone wants your shit...they will take it...the end

 

yea Scrape the stupid 50$ hitch lock idea. gotta hide a key when the chronics no watching

 

Just surf with your key. Been doing it for years, no issue with the chip or getting wet. Screw lock boxes of any type. I personally know 3 people who got their vehicles jacked, to include one of the tow hitch ones.

 

Whole foods has one of the most impressive beer isles ive ever seen

 

Tamuras gots the selections too and cheapest i thin k

 

yea . i go hide my 3rd key. but get chronics everywhere ! Fark!!

 

I've heard people doing this too. I want to chance em but scared not being able to start my truck. Lol

 

my new 3rd gen has an extra little key that comes apart from the key Fob. so u can manually lock the truck... it cant get damaged by water . but the truck also is push button start.... so if someone smashes the window and your FOB is in the car.. im guessing they maybe able to can push button start it ??? idk maybe the alarm system would lock up if it reconized if a window was broken.. idk?? you would prolly have to be a smarter then average to figure that out too.

 

Try wrap the fob in foil and hide em in truck. Then take the little key with you. Foil keeps push start from working. Might work. I have not tried myself yet. But a guy at servco told me to try that.

 

I just take a small ziplock and bury it in the sand some where

 

idk man sounds sketchy i usually find a coconut husk and a bush....one time out front off ehukai /pipeline surf break i dropped a key in the sand. i saw exactly where it dropped.. when i went digging for it i could find it looked for like 20-30 min .. i finally went and talked to the lifeguard and they had a sand sifter and i found it within seconds .

 

cool idea

 

I mark it when I do it with a stick or leaves or something. Hasn't failed me yet knock on wood. It's the container I use not a bag.

 

Altoids tin also works for the key fob plus it's reusable.
Have you guys heard of people drilling into the bottom of the gas tank?

 

i still dont know mann LOL. what if a dog comes and grabs the stick? haha!

 

it fits in an altoid container and that works! ? cool! drill in gas tank??? theft??
