Someone tried to steal my Tacoma

I have a 2008 Tacoma that is missing the transponder board located on the ignition cylinder and the keys have gone missing. How do I go about fixing this problem. If a locksmith comes out to replace the keys it won't be possible with the transponder board missing. Is there anyway around the security system?

 

The piece on the cylinder is the transponder amplifier.
As for a way around the system, No. There isn’t a way around it easily.
At a minimum, you need an amplifier, a new key, and a scan tool to program the key.
A locksmith can do the key and programming. The amplifier is nothing special, any mechanic should be able to install it.

 

What do you mean the keys "went missing"? Are you saying someone took your keys in an attempt to steal the truck? Wouldn't they just start it up and drive off?
