Doesn't seem like horrible advice to me. Sure, if someone finds it, you're out your backup key. But unless the thief SAW YOU put it there (and you hid it a block away from your abode as instructed) how is a thief gonna establish the necessary link between the key and the lock it opens? Try it on every lock in the neighborhood? And a backup key costs what, $3-$4, and can be operated by anyone, neither of which are properties of a lockpick set.
