If you are using 2 keys one in the ignition to start and run the vechile and the second to lock the door they just had a cop advertising campaign advising against that practice. Way easy to gain entrance with a slim Jim and drive off with your car. Insurance companies also are beginning not to pay if that is what an owner has done. The recommended practice is to have a remote start feature so the ignition lock still must be defeated. We just have to disable the shut off lever before removing the key and locking up the car to achieve the same results. Many newer vechiles including the w210 can't be locked with a second key while the engine is running.
