I just glued my key in my ignition, can't loose it now ...
A local heavy-equipment company has dozens of trucks, big and little, plus several of any type of equipment you could imagine.
For years, the keys in their stuff have had small cable run through the key and around the column, such that it is impossible to remove the key without first cutting the cable.
They have resorted to other means of retaining the keys in the stuff where the key goes into a panel.
ended up breaking the wing window in the airport parking lot
then rushing across the city to the auto glass place just before they closed and lucking out to find they had a new wing glass in stock and having to pay to get that put in.
The local windshield guy once told me that the least expensive, usually easiest replaced, glass in a vehicle is the windshield itself.
He said that, on most vehicles, it is far better/cheaper to break out a windshield, than any other glass, should one need to break in.
Of course, I would much rather have to drive minus a wing-glass, than minus the windshield, so one must consider all aspects of the particular situation.
