The above image is what is left of two electronic key fobs that have been in the microwave. Why in the microwave? A television program shown some time ago about car theft said the best place to keep your keys over night is the microwave to stop them getting cloned.
Yes the image is what happens when you forget to take them out before doing breakfast. Now every one laugh but this has lead to something that many people do not realise. To replace these keys at a main dealer would cost £1800, £900 via a third party of which there is only about 4 in the country.
These belong to a Mitsubishi ASX and to get one copied at a main dealer will cost you about £250 at this date.
Now the rub replacement keys do not come as standard in your insurance they are a optional extra so if you lose or break one and you do not have them specifically covered then you could be in for a large bill.
