Ironically enough growing up “out in the sticks” of Grays Harbor County, WA, I acquired quite a bit of hours running around in log-trucks and D-8 cats as a youth. They used to leave the keys right in the equipment out on the landings of logging operations. Of course that was in my youth, I’m much more responsible now. ;)

Bet you're the only one on FR that has a clue about my screen name! Agree about the "key in the ignition" thing. Only thing I was suprised about in the story is that whoever stole the dump truck didn't have to wake anyone up!!! LOL

Normally, heavy equipment uses very few different "keys". Caterpiller keys work in all Caterpillers, Deere keys work in all Deere equipment, etc.
With a handfull of keys, you can operate nearly all heavy equipment.
