When did you get the car?
Did it come with the 2nd key? where is it?
If you have had the car for a while now and had no issues locking it before someone is messing with you.
Someone must have taken the 2nd key and hidden it in your car.

How long have you had the car before you discovered that you can't lock it? I would think you would have noticed that right away?
First time here so this may not be the right place to post this question. However, maybe someone can help me with an answer.
Earlier today I drove my 2007 G35 sedan 30 miles away while my keys were still in my bedroom!
From what I've read on this site, once the car is started you can drive any distance without the key in the car, and the car will continue to drive and the engine will not shut off. This much I know.
However, when I got out of my car I realized my keys were still at my house. The crazy (and scary) thing is that my car started right back up?!?! Also, the car would not let me lock it. I wanted to lock it and go to work and have a friend bring me the key. I tried to lock it from the button on the inside as well the outside handle and it would make a repetitive beeping noise and not lock.
Therefore, I could not lock my car and it could still start right up even through the key was 30 miles away. Obviously that is a thief's dream come true, so in drove home and missed work.
My question, is it possible for the car to start up again even though the key is 30 miles away? My friend suggested that there must be another key in the car I don't know about...but I looked everywhere and there's no key in the car. Is this possible?!?!? Am I even making sense?!?!? Thanks guys!!

Thanks for all the responses I really appreciate it!
I have had the car for 6 months. To answer your question, the reason I did not notice right away is because the car would always lock and unlock properly because my keys were always in my pocket. I noticed something was wrong when i drove 30 miles to work with my keys at home, and the car would not lock but it would start.
Well, like many of you suggested.. I finally found a set of keys buried deep under the drivers seat!! and almost broke some fingers while searching! Who knows who they belong to or how long they've been there. But now I have a spare!
Thanks again for all the responses this is a great website!
