The Lock Smiths and them shouldn’t duplicate keys without knowing who the vehicle belongs to
Who did you hand your keys to recently? Start there then visit the places where keys are duplicated.. check the camera to see who you recognize. Check your neighbors for camera footage of the vehicle who dropped off the other guy..
This is really worrying, how easy is it for someone to just duplicate a key and take a vehicle?
Everybody need to start double-checking their cars. Antigua getting too slack with these thieves.
The man probably had a key

This is more than simple stealing. This look organised. Police need to talk to the public quick-quick.
Imagine you working hard to buy a vehicle and somebody just come and drive it away like is theirs. This can’t continue
