Platinum silver metallic, very dark tinted windows all around, Marine Corps sticker on left bottom corner of rear glass. Stolen from Chatsworth, CA.

Did go to the dealer, but I'm not missing any keys. Why do you ask if I've been to the dealer?
Yeah, your AP don't mean jack if they jimmy into your car, throw it into neutral and haul it onto a flatbed. Looks like that's what they did with my car.

Probably just flatbeded it out.

MB cars (within the last couple of years, depending on the model) are preprogramed with every key they will ever have. If you loose all of the keys ( I thinkn it's like 20 or so) then you have to replace a lot of $tuff.
Also nice to know that MB has "Shop" keys. They don't need yours.
Subarus with the imobilizer key just need to have the dealer tell the ECU and imobilzer controller about a new key.
