Security-Safety Question/Concern-Keyless Entry
#16
Yeah, that has happened to a few Prius owners with comical results such as husband/wife getting stuck at their destination after dropping the other off (which had the key).

I wondered about the following and just got around to checking it out and am curious as to what others think.
If a couple, and each has a FOB, or there is a driving aged teen who has one of the two FOBS as a passenger, maybe ponder what I observed as to safety and security.
With one FOB in the car, it can be started and driven, so if a couple goes to the store or an ATM, other, or a parent does with passengers and only the driver gets out of the car with one of the FOBs and leaves the other people in the car as passenger and one passenger has a FOB, all anyone has to do is open driver door, get in and drive unless driver remembers to lock the car door using the key FOB lock to do it, not the door lock. Even if remembering to use FOB lock.....If windows are left down, anyone can simply reach in, unlock the driver door, get in and drive having disabled unlock door features for others in the car.
Depending on area you live or precautions you otherwise like to generally take, it may be helpful to be aware of this, or if you have a teen with FOB who rides often as passenger or vice versa.

This is really a stretch. What if you are walking into the ATM and the dude who's robbing the store decides he wants to blow your head off. Are there "safety precautions" in place for this scenario?

There is no connection to the above scenario and what I posted about dual FOBS in the car with a passenger(s) with one of the two FOBS remaining behind in the car while an errand is run.
Else, what if a meteor struck you on your way to the car or some other scenario
