You make 3 or 4 copies the moment you buy a car.

Might pay to ring your local locksmith and ask for advice. Otherwise, you could try and bribe Mr.2 to find the lost key.

You're going to have to beat it out of him.
If that doesn't work, Toyota dealer. Give them the VIN and registration.

Ok--sensible reply time-- What year is the estima! Basicly you are stuck btween yeol rock and hard place Call a locksmith and pay what they charge--around $120 ish to cut a key or 2) bribe a mechanic/panelbeater mate to remove the drivers door lock and get a new one cut at a locksmith.

1: Give him the keys to your other car and then follow him, not too close or noticably and he may just stash them in the same place.or lose them as well or 2: torment him with pictures of keys all over his walls for years and years if need be and sooner or laterhe will break down and subconcious will take over and he will either reveal their whereabouts or lock himself away for-ever with multilocks and keys etc. With number two option it may be an idea to put your rego on the resto file so you dont have to pay rego till he turns 17 or something !

They are great at copying you, look in handbag, maybe even hanging out a door lock on that or another car (o:

Check the rubish bin. My miss almost 2 hides everything in the rubish bin. Worst thing was, it took a few weeks before we worked it out.

There will be a code on the back of the key barrel of the drivers door, take the door card off and remove the barrel and take it to a locksmith and get him to cut a new key with the code. If its not a coded key itl be easy as getting a new key cut, if its a coded key you need a toyota dealer to come to the vehicle and re code the key to the car
