I am concerned an enterprising, yet scheming, passerby might notice the opportunity and hop in and take off.  Believe it or not, this recently happened to a friend of mine that lives relatively nearby - one minute eating breakfast and the next, nothing but footprints and tire tracks in the snow where his car was.

When warming up my S4, I use the valet key to start  the car and find that the keyless entry does not function once started (neither does the button-activated automatic door lock). I have the sneaking suspicion that I am overlooking some extremely simple method to accomplish this, but have yet to find it.
