In my case they always had the keys, it was purely the electronics side that was failing. In fact I explicitly remember one idiot who manually broke the transponder chip inside the key in half (no idea what they were attempting to do - replace the battery?). I can’t tell for sure that all the clients were legit, but those ones were so stupid they had to be legit! I took cash as well, because I was under 18 and couldn’t legally run a business at that time (but still needed to eat and buy drinks every weekend, and family couldn’t afford it).
