You wouldn't immagine just how much you are right. I once was at the 
courthouse to pay a ticket. While passing my keys and wallet through the 
metal detector somehow my car key (which is always on its own ring to avoid 
weight on the ignition switch) turned up missing at the other end. It was 
the only copy I had (yes, I know), so I had the car towed back to the shop. 
I ended up for gits and shiggles going through my stash of keys from parts 
cars and found a key that works in the ignition. How many parts car keys did 
I have? 4. Thats lucky as hell, but also doesn't speak well for the 
random-ness of the keys. Funny enough I one time got locked out a customers 
951 and found that another of my Audi 5ktq parts car keys fit the door of 
the 951 perfectly. Out of 4 keys I could start 2 completely different cars.
