What info do the guys that make replacement Merc keys need?
Is the fact that both chassis and reg numbers are visible enough to make one?
Do you need an original key to reprogramme the new one?
A lady at work with a little Citroën c2 had the child seat stolen, window smashed and seat pulled out...
She was stuck as couldn't get to a shop to buy one easily with nothing to put little one in.
Really is amazing what people will take I guess. The only good thing us that thieft from cars must have reduced a lot as they have become mote secure, you certainly don't hear about as many.
I had my back window caved in years ago to steal a packet of crisps!

Beef & onion..What flavour??
I find the nice thing about having fold on locking mirrors is you can see very easily the car is locked.
Not necessarily quite so.
On my 211 I can fold the mirrors on locking, but when I unlock then stay put until I actually open either the driver's door or the front passenger door. So it could be unlocked, just not physically opened.
have you had the car valeted recently???
There is a device that can copy the key, despite what other forum members say it does exsist and can be found with a space couple of minutes on google. I dont think posting the link here will benefit anyone but the op can pm me if he wants it to forward on to the insurance company.
It involves stripping down the key and placing the chip in to a reader but if the car was left with a garage / car wash then they would have had plenty of time to carry this out.
Also I've had my steering wheel off a few times when I did the paddle shifters and armed simply with a torx bit, a socket, master bar and a tiny flat driver I could have the wheel off in under 5 mins - there really isnt anything to it.
Also the airbag will not deploy if the keys are not in the ignition
