A couple of observations:
First, when our 2006 3124KB was stolen, we inadvertently kept the keys and one day locked the newer 2007 while in our backyard. When trying to unlock, we found we had kept the 06 keys on our key rings and they definitely did not work. Finally located the new set and threw the old ones out.
Secondly, don't necessarily think that because you're insured that replacement is a piece of cake, either time-wise or financially. After doing a thorough "memory inventory" following our loss, we found something over $1,200 worth of equipment, supplies and appliances was stored inside. During the following camping season, we thought of several things that we had not put on the insurance form and so were not reimbursed for. And there's also the considerable time involved in reporting to police, shopping for a replacement unit, replacing all that stuff that was stored inside, then re-doing all the modifications that made it "your" TM. After two years, I'm still not finished. And that doesn't even include the lost camping season.
I now take extra precautions against theft of the unit just because of all the lost time and aggravation it takes to get back on the road.
