Are you not worried about the thief coming along some night and carrying the car or its contents?

How were they stolen, taken from your person or taken from the house? Most insurance policies will cover the cost of replacement keys if they are stolen.

If someone out there has the key to your car then I would be looking at getting the car's immobiliser reprogramed along with the new keys.

the keys were robbed from the locker

who ever took them just put there hands in one pocket and took the ipod , keys., but did not take the wallet and phone in other pocket i get the impression it was a quick grab and porb taken by a young person,

im living at home so im a sibling not sure if my keys are covered ???

Call your insurance company and safeguard your car for the time being. Block it into a drive, put a steering wheel lock on or take a wheel off.

I meant your car insurance may cover them, not home insurance.

whether your insurance covers it or not,

unless the cost of replacing the locks and ignition barrell is more than the value of the car, i be getting them changed one way or the other...

Why would a young person leave the wallet and phone?

Weird opportunistic grab - ehm was it at your gym or place of work - do you frequent - nothing stopping the knacker who nicked em from turning up!

Slightly OT, but was there a lock on this locker? I'm always amazed at the number of unlocked lockers full of stuff at my gym - TBH, I can't see most insurance companies wanting to know in such a case.

and it was a Gym Member

yes lot of lockers no locks mine did and it was at a very quiet time

Did you contact the gym to see what members were there the same time as you?

There's no way they'd tell him that, and rightly so.

1. Notify your insurance company as they have an interest in the matter.
2. (and it doesn't appear apparent that you have) complain to the management of the gym that this is the second time that you have been robbed in their premises. Demand that they compensate you for your loss given that the locker they provided was locked.
3. Notify the gardai of the robbery

Why not? A crime has happened, and he's the victim.

Or maybe he should get onto the guards, and they could get the info?

He would not be entitled to that information.

The gardai on the other hand, would be!

have you tried this place for a price on replacement keys?

I've no affiliation. I just remember hearing an ad on the radio about them.

Edit: Just saw on their site they are the people Toyota themselves use. LINK
