Unfortunately you CAN run a Volvo without the keys....

Even the new P3 Volvo's can be run without a key, and driven away without a key quite happily....

I'm not prepared to divulge details of how/why for obvious reasons.

Oh and by the way, you may want to look at what "BlackRats" are - I'm sure he has experience of the fact..

It's either one of your kids, or your hubby - and probably drunk too...

Have you checked that "your" two keys are indeed YOUR keys? i.e., will they open and start the car?
Just another thought, what with them not being on the keyring and all that.
It could be that another similar key was left in place, although theres absolutely NO logical reason why that would be done, so maybe im just a wacko....

Someone was ****ed, took the car out, crashed it, stumbled home, left the key on the counter, and went to bed.

The perfect crime. LOL.
