So i was supposed to get 3 keys and a valet. Is the same for everyone else who has a BRZ?

Actually THAT would get my alert level raised.
AFAIK the only way to steal one of htese cars is to have a new key made by the dealer, but even then I thought that it had to be "married" to the car BY the dealer.
I don't think you can just order a new key and have it work with the car.
SO I would be VERY curious WHY they ended up having a new key...
And I only got two key-fobs. and I think I got a valet, although I don't recall what I did with it now that I think about it...
On a slightly unrelated note: I just noticed the other day that my 99 Chevy Suburban had the KEY CODES written on a card in the owners manual that sat in the glove compartment of my suburban for the last 15 years....Good thing the people who like to rifle through my car whenever I forget to lock it didn't stumble upon that little morsel.
All they would have had to do is take that key code to a Chevy dealer and get a key made...
