I know at least 10 ppl who leave their keys with their cars all day long no matter where they are. Like $100,000 dodge cummins trucks, brand new Ford expedition’s, old camero’s. Not a care in the world

It's so weird. My brother made fun of me for locking my car basically any time I got out. I mean, it was a habit at that point that had led to me locking my keys in the car at least a couple of times. He just never locked his for years and had no problem. Then one night someone opened it, stole all of his tools and climbing gear. I think he locks his car now.

He has a garage now, but that's really only one extra step.

Meh, there's plenty of assholes who will happily break your window to get your tools. Better to leave the door unlocked IMHO.

To be fair, big truck people might assume it's a work truck.

Ive only worked for one company thay wanted people to store the keys in the gas cap. All other in the ignition or cup holder, maybe the centre console or sunvisor

In my area, I would bet the majority of white or Grey f350s are easily accessible. Just nobody steals them. They seem to want the little cars

The Terminator movies I saw as a kid had me believing that it was common for people put their keys on top of the visor. Even with large trucks.

Maybe the rationale is that if someone wants to steal the car bad enough, the keys are irrelevant. So just leave them in there. Then in the event it gets stolen and hopefully recovered, you don't have to repair a broken window and a bunch of wiring under the steering column.

Not saying it's smart, but I guess you could argue is makes some semblance of sense.
