Car keys

Typically, when the vehicle's owner turn off his engine, he takes the car keys with him. If someone else than the owner of the vehicle or an authorized faction member turns off the engine, the keys will remain in the vehicle and anyone entering this vehicle will receive a message indicating that the keys are in the vehicle. If the keys are in the vehicle, only the right command will take back the keys from the vehicle if used by the owner of the vehicle or an authorized faction member. If the engine is started with the normal command, the keys will stay in the vehicle what so ever for the next person, even if the owner of the vehicle or an authorized faction member shuts down the engine himself.

/usekey: Take the keys from the vehicle and use it.
