Whilst its good to be cautious and not allow this to happen i believe this to be an urban myth.

I would agree, although a quick search does suggest this was spread around the regional press at least. For example:

As you say, just be careful and then you're in the clear either way.

I think this would only work on cars with keyless ignitions unless the key pattern is also stored in the ecu
