Should this happen?(Key related)

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

I worked in a car lot right out of high school.  We used 
to keep a big ring of keys in the shack on the lot.  We 
could open any car on the lot with that ring of keys.  On 
a similar note, I was visiting my sister in a town 360 
miles away.  Their neighbors across the street locked 
themselves out of the house.  I tried the key to my 
parents house and it worked.  There are only so many 
combinations that a given manufacturer uses.  Sometimes 
you get lucky.
