Patti,

This is becoming increasingly common. They are not discriminating against
you or your VW but only
against your steel key blanks. Ask around. There are still a few locksmiths
around with the equipment
to cut steel keys.

I don't recall if you are the same Patti who bought e-code headlights from
me. If you are or even if you are
not, but are in the San Francisco area, Millbrae Lock & Key has cut my steel
blanks in the past.

Cheers,
BenT
