Keys not on the peg...stool under keys. Three year old son had climbed up on the stool to get the keys off the peg, opened the deadbolt on the door, opened the car with the fob, and was in the process of trying to figure out how to push the brake pedals with his hands while attempting to start the car (he's too short to reach both).

He had just been talking to me while I peeled vegetables for dinner and then was gone. Not 3 minutes had passed. Gotta watch 'em every second!
