i think you are being conned

1st off all remove fuel pump use or any fuse that stops the car from starting thats avoid the car being stolen

did you leave the keys by mistake or in his care ?

if you left the keys by mistake then its your own faulty you have to find people who reprogram an new key or get a full set of an ecu with key and door locks

For the "op" type of car (ford focus 2002) no one would ever duplicate that type of key for #1200 undecided that amount hasn't taken care of the cost of buying an extra key not to talk of programming it.

If your dealer gives you good service, go there, but any good Locksmith should be able to make keys for your car.Might help if you post up make, model, and year, then you can get some more specific advice.Get 2 sets, it won't cost 2X what one set would cost, put the spare set in a safe place where you won't lose it.
