My local old locksmith with dusty boxes also mentioned that if you
bring him a blank and he messes up the cut, that is your problem,
whereas if you use his blanks and he messes up the cut it is his.
With my habit of misplacing keys, I think it a useful security feature
to have a key that says "Honda", as there are few other MG's in the
places where I park.
