Regardless, it's not something I've ever done, nor intend on doing (especially this time of year). I know even if going to get something out of my car while drunk (more beer anyone?) I'll open the doors with my keys, then put the keys on the roof, get the whatever (beer) lock the doors, and then grab the keys again. If for no other reason to have the argument that I never had the keys in my possession while I was in the car. Then again I only ever done this while camping or been somewhere that there wasn't any police officers for miles around. Yeah I know, I'm a nerd.
