My parents used to have an 82 Monte Carlo and mom and I came out of a store one day and got into someone else's Monte....the door key worked...we didn't getto check the ignition because we figured out it wasn't our car.
Same Monte Carlo was the one that I started driving. One day at work (at a Chevy dealer nonetheless), we had to move a bunch of employee cars for some construction work that was going to be done on that side of the lot. One of my buddies was out of town delivering parts. I knew he had had some of the issues mentioned above (fiddle with the ignition for a minute and you can start it) on his '71 Camaro, so I thought I'd "break into" his car and move it for him. I used a coat hanger, got the door open, then couldn't get the ignition to "work". Jokingly, I took my Monte's key out, put it in, and it started right up.
This is actually no different than the key fob issue. Working on the car lots, we've actually found a couple times where a keyless entry will open more than one car. It used to be more common, but every now and then, you can find a garage door opener that opens more than one door as well. There are only so many codes that can be used or only so many "key combinations" that can be made.
