Something else to add to things to think about - my car was stolen a couple of months after I got home from my first tour in Iraq, which makes it about 7 years ago, and I had a spare set of keys under one of the seats (I didn't keep them there, I had lost them in my car and not yet found them). When the vehcile was recovered I couldn't press charges because the spare keys were in in possesion of the indivdual driving it and even though the ingnition had been ripped out and the car could be started with a screwdriver the police said that since the individual had the keys, they could not prove that he knew it was stolen. SO... if the vehicle is recovered and the operator (if someone is driving it when it is recovered) has possession of the keys, then he will likely get off without so much as a slap on the wrist.
