So curious if you guys ever had the situation where when you parked your bike and looked over to the bike next to your and find their bike keys are inside the pillion seat lock?(or ignition)

Bike keys left in the bike
- Thread starter lildevilx

We've all either seen it or done it at one time or another. No great solution. If you are going to be staying close by you could leave a note with contact info and take the key. I try not to touch others bikes though. I have turned off keys where they left the lights on but left the key with the bike.

I forgot to add... if the bike had loud pipes I'd use them like a dog whistle. Blip..blip then the speed limit (first gear only).
When I go touring I wear my keys around my neck when off the bike. Whenever I walk away from my bike, I instinctively check my lanyard and a few times... Yep... Left the key on the bike...

Have you really lived until you've been called a **** by Johnny???
I have done it a couple times with out issues but the best/ worst time was.
I have a Shelby Cobra replica and the keys are almost always in the ignition.
The car is in a locked garage up on a hoist with a 130lb bull mastiff having garage access. It’s probably safe. But bad habits being what they are.
I went to a pool party in south Oshawa, parked on the street in front of the house and left the keys in the ignition dangling from the center of the dash in plain view of a car with no roof and no door locks. About 6hrs in some guy hollers out “who has the Cobra?” He then approached me and handed me my keys and told me to be less trusting. “This isn’t the neighbourhood for that” he said.
So ya it happens and most of the time you get lucky and it would really suck to loose something just because you left a key. But just because the keys are in it doesn’t make it free to good home, it’s still theft.
