Who has my second key?
I bought a BMW from a Tyneside used car dealer with only one key. I spoke to the previous owner, who said there were two keys but the dealer says there was only one key. Does he have to provide two keys?

They don't have to provide two keys, but if the previous owner gave them two and they gave you one, whoever has the other key can take your car anytime.
