See www.sky.com/skynews/article/o,,30100-1218130,00.ht...l
This Article reported on the skynews website tells the story of how a RAC patrol went to help a mother who's Ford Focus wouldn't
start, The patrol noticed that the immobilser chip was missing from the ignition key. Apparantly the Mother remembered that her 1Year old had been playing with the key, and had had at one point the key in his mouth.
As a long shot the patrol asked the mother to place the child as close to the steering column as possible and BINGO the car started first time.
I promise the date is not April the first!!

Is that your headline or Sky's; nice one either way.

five live reports that the chip found it's way through the kid and still works.

Link doesn't work for me, but The Register report the same story in a quite humorous way.

My PC translates that as "Pull the alternative one, it has bells there"?
