that was the way we grew up,that was before the MOD SQUAD took over
The difference here is that the car keys are not themselves dangerous. At least, that’s one difference. They are pretty unlikely to accidentally kill themselves because they grab the keys wrong when they pick them up. Also hard to carry your car in your pocket into the store with you, and hard to pick up your car and steal it by putting it in their pocket if they find it in the parking lot.
That’s the practical side vs the legal side.
