First I'll start off with how I lost both my keys..
I was at my friend's house helping him work on his car before we headed back to IL where we both go to school. I end up leaving my keys at his house. I had my red talon key, house, garage, shed, and whatever else I had on there. Well they shipped them to our apartment but wrote the wrong address and they didn't get a tracking number so my keys have been long gone for like 3 months now..
So that's how I lost my first key. Then I ended up trading my S10 truck for JoeM's white talon and left my key in that truck. He also left his garage opener in the talon so we planned on meeting back up to get our stuff back. Well in short.. there was writing on his side of the title so I couldn't transfer it and he had to go get a duplicate title. Then he ended up calling me and telling me that a million things went wrong with the truck the night I dropped it off. (I just drove this truck 6 hours from Chicago to MN with nothing wrong with it and not to mention I never had a single problem with it while I owned it.) So he said he wants $400 cash on top of the trade or he wasn't getting a duplicate title and that I have a nice parts car. Then we agree on me giving him $200 which he was lucky I even agree'd to..
So I message him a month later seeing if he got the title, he said no. Then I wait like another month or more and still nothing.. Now I can't get ahold of him and my dad ended up going to the dmv. Apparently he sold the S10 already without even putting it in his own name. He changed his name and never even applyed for a duplicate title!
So anyway.. He has my other key and I doubt I will ever get it back.
Now my question is couldn't I go to the dealership with all the proof I have that I own my talon with a VIN number and have them make a new key for me? If not, then what are my other options other than replacing my door locks, ignition switch and trunk lock?
