Darn - my nights are going to get awfully long with all these new places to look for hidden keys to steal C5's.

No worries, it was just a general suggestion for hiding a key, I use it on my work vehicles. Anyone who wants to find me and remove my license plate will do me a big favor, I always have trouble getting that rear frame off anyway

Behind the license plate would work great - put it in a plastic bag (like a zip lock bag) and duct tape it to the plate. Or, do something similar up under the rear bumper area.

Yeah, I'm a mechanical contractor, I can duct tape anything anywhere
