Ermmm, have you ever used a recent 3G data connection?  Quite similar to a 
DSL line (I think mine says max 7.2mbit, but usally it's nearer 2mbit when 
actually using it).

Yeh, I guess if someone who mugs you randomly gets your car keys (rather 
than mugging you for the sole purpose of getting your car key) they are not 
likely to really know what to do with it, so chances of finding it might be 
higher.  They'd probably just drive it around a bit and dump it somewhere. 
To steal modern cars (without having the key) you need a lot of skill and 
knowledge, both with exactly how to steal it in the first place (you can't 
just "hotwire" them), and then what to do with it afterwards to avoid 
getting caught and actually getting some money.
