But what if you have to leave your key? What if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle? Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk or glove box. 0 Key in the Ignition If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it's an easy target for joy riders or professional thieves -- so don't do it.
