Also, who knows what fury is brought upon one's self if you call the rental agency and tell them that you've misplaced all three keys!
Hmmm. Rentals are marked with sticker bar codes and at least here in VA the year sticker of the license plate is orange. Stand out quite about it. Thieves know this an then break into it and they look in truck or in glove box and what do you know the key to the car.

It is gone just like that. It is a great idea isnt it. I am sure a legal battle will insue from you and the rental company to whose fault it is and then in the mean time you dont have a car...
