I can remove the keyless part from my ignition, by pulling the button out of the dash. It leaves a standard Mercedes ignition key hole.
Trouble is, it is not car specific, and anyone can by a new one off ebay for about a tenner. My key can still be relayed, and so it remains effectively keyless what ever.

I suppose seeing more and more cars, these days, parked with after market steering locks visibly fitted tells the story...

I've been caught at 70 mph on a smart section of the M42 motorway when the gantry screens were supposedly showing 60.
After asking for evidence, today I belatedly received in the post 3 small indistinct images which prove nothing. The technical supplier is based in Melbourne, Australia.
For a start I believe the screens may not have been working above all 4 lanes. Driving along that section a few days after the alleged offence I confirmed that not all the screens were working on the same gantry. Some showed 60, others were blank.
So what do I do? Any ideas please.

Speed limits don't just apply to the lane you're in on a motorway.
I've never seen 70 in lane 3, 60 in 2 etc etc..
Speed limit is what's shown.

The bleedin' fuss, stuff and nonsense being spouted in the news over GCSE results. Report the summary statistics yes - but we don't need to be in the playground with squealing students.
And in the same ballpark of over-hyping self-importance - a couple of games into the football season and we have pundits, commentators and players celebrating goals and wins/draws as if they've just won the league.

LOL i was watching the West Brom Vs Reading game last night and the Reading fans started chanting "we are going up" while 1-0 up and only 4 games in... I hope they were sarcastically taking the mickey out of themselves or something!

Neighbours cat leaving a live adder by our back door. Hate snakes but managed to scoop it up and put it back into a wooded area. Then had to find cat’s owner to take her home, and get checked by vet for snake bite.
Did I say I hate snakes !

If we don’t finish in the top six I would be disappointed, after the signings we have made. When you have had the last two seasons we have had, you have to have some optimism or you would start supporting Maidenhead !
Last season we lost 4-1 at WBA, so even after four games, just two with the new signings we are looking much better. How can we fail with Puscas, Pele and Moore ?

Usual BBC 6pm news - a report on Boris, then their scare mongering story on a "no deal Brexit" slanted to suit their biased views and always "in a worst case"
We just want the news mate not your biased opinion

Unscheduled and unexplained road closure (A43) on my way to Overstone Golf for an Open today. Made worse by the terrible diversion signs which vaguely indicated at the next slip road that it could be up the slip road or carry on the A14. Eventually just pulled off and kept going in the general direction (I thought) until Jane (SatNav) stopped trying to send me back. Little did I realise I was heading back the the closed road albeit a bit further on. Thought I'd missed the closed bit only to come to a roundabout with a closed sign - at this point I thought stuff it and took the slalom through the cones and carried on regardless! A nice few miles of completely quiet open road and then sadly another road closed sign but with a van blocking my proposed illegal route! Next hold up was a teeny road through a village unable to cope with the traffic and so had a little adventure dodging that - finally arriving 30 minutes after my original expected time. As irritating as it was it was also quite fun in places too!

Re-heating a bowl of apple crumble and covering it in double thick cream, only to realise, when I've just taken an eagerly anticipated mouthful, that it's morphed into apple flavoured lava crumble.
Jeeeez, it was hot!!
