What to Do if Your Car Keys Are Stolen

If your car keys have been stolen, acting quickly is essential. As long as the old keys exist, someone could potentially access and start your vehicle. The right move is to have your locks recoded and your immobiliser reprogrammed as soon as possible.

Titan comes to you — your car stays exactly where it is while we make it secure again.

What We Do — Full Recode Service

  • Recode your door locks so the stolen keys no longer unlock the car
  • Reprogram your vehicle's immobiliser so stolen keys cannot start the engine
  • Cut and program new keys for you
  • Recode any additional keys you want to keep (spare keys, etc.)

Why This Matters

Many people assume their car is safe because the keys aren't physically near it. But transponder keys store a code that matches your immobiliser — if someone has your key, they can start your car. Recoding wipes the old key codes and replaces them with new ones, making the stolen keys completely useless.

Should I Also Report It to Police?

Yes — report stolen keys to Queensland Police as soon as possible, especially if your home keys were also taken or if your address was on any documentation in the car. While we secure the vehicle, police reporting is important for insurance and investigation purposes.

Insurance Claims

We can provide a detailed invoice for insurance purposes. Check your policy — many comprehensive policies cover key replacement and lock recoding after theft.
