Only one key will start the car and not even the manufacturer can make a copy of this key.
A thief steals the key, runs half a block and is immediately arrested by the cops. He is taken downtown. He is searched, x-rayed, even fed laxatives and his clothes are shredded but the key is not found.
They search a 2 block radius around the crime scene with metal detectors, bloodhound, shovels, psychics too. The key is not found.
The thief has no friends or family or accomplice. He is not an expert animal trainer. He can't talk to animals. He isn't a magician. And all he had on him was a key-ring with 2 keys - his house and car. they are both searched from top to bottom just in case (even though they are miles away) and nothing is found.
They interrogate the thief, put a tail on him and eventually lose interest.
About 10 days after the crime, The thief walks up to the car, pulls the key from his pocket and takes the car.
How did he do it?
First correct answer wins!!

There is an answer and you guys are not even close... And if you want the solution, I expect mucho stars.
Caveat / hint: People who are not from North-America will find this virtually impossible to solve.

One of you guys is very close but in his/her answer my hint about non-Americans makes absolutely no sense. Try to keep it in mind, it might lead you in the right direction.

He had a prepared envelope with his address on it that he dropped the key into and put the envelope in a post box before being caught.

Protos dont have engines most of the time, and there's a chance you're talking about a model of a future car.. wouldnt need to "Start" it with a key, I'm most likely on the wrong track.

The "key" is finger-print based? But then it would still be possible to take a molding of the owner's prints...
Will check back later to find out answer...

It's his own car.
Maybe he's got split personality disorder, or he's trying to cash in on the theft insurance.
I sure am curious to find out the correct answer now!
