We had 40 cars on the road, and we lost keys ourselves. Add in other staff, customers, and make it 400 cars - trust me they keep that cable there for a reason. Especially with newer cars that have expensive chip keys, and the remote fobs. The big rental companies that have stuff on lease have to return the car with both keys and remotes, figure it costs them $200 to replace one of the fobs on one car - if they lost the second fob on just 10% of their cars in a 400 car fleet, that's $8000 in fobs. And from my experience, just a 10% loss would be being generous.
