My 206 has been stolen, it was recovered by the police and has been in an accident. My insurance company have written it off but are refusing to payout as there was no damage to my car's locks or ignition. They are saying that someone must have had access to my car keys. My car was locked and I am the only person with the car keys....how did somone steal and drive my car without the keys and without causing any damage....can anyone help me please?
Thanks

Very easily. If you know what you are doing, you could get a key to match your locks in about 3 minutes.

All you need is a tickler for the lock, and then just program a chip for the immo. 45 seconds, tops.
But saying that, I could get a key and program it and just walk straight up and start the car and undo the central locking lol

See if your car starts the engine.
If it does, then the previous owner kept a key or you had the car nicked
If it doesn't, someone coded a new key to the car.
