I suppose it wasn't considered in the design.

What if someone were driving their Nissan Z and they stopped at a 7-11 to throw away some trash in their trash can but the driver mistakenly threw away their car key as well and then they proceeded to continue driving without it. I hear these coded keys cost anywhere from $300 to $1,000 USD.
