> Some ignitions can be "popped" and screwdrivers used to start the ignition
When I was a teenager, my family had a Fiat 500. Something had broken in the part of the ignition switch that you insert the key into, and so my Dad took it off until we could get it fixed, and we kept a screwdriver in the glove box to use to start the car.
There was virtually no car theft in our town (at least in the places we went), and people often left their car doors unlocked. Soon we got out of the habit of bringing our car keys with us. We weren't locking the doors, and we used the screwdriver to start the car, so why bother?
Well, I found out why we should have bothered a few weeks later when I was driving home. We lived a few miles outside of town, out in the sticks. I was a couple miles from home, taking a back road that had almost no traffic, and a tire blew out.

The spare was in the trunk.
