I shudder when I see other surfers “hiding” their keys above their car’s tire. Yeah, I saw that, and maybe a thief did too.

A better solution is the Surf Lock Car Key Security Padlock. The padlock fits over a car door handle or through a wheel rim, and your car key – or a set of keys; it’s roomy – fits inside.

The box locks up tight with a combination you set yourself. This won’t work with those convenience keys that operate near the car, but it’s great if you have an ordinary electronic fob you can’t get wet.
