I went to start my car this morning and noticed I was having trouble getting my ignition key in to start it. Is this an issue of the key wearing over time, or could it be a possible attempted theft?

Check the lock with another key. If it is the same, see if it can be lubed. If that does not help, it will need to be replaced. Don't worry, the ignition lock can be made to your keys and reprogramming will not be necesssary unless you replace them.

Sounds like a good idea, simple things huh?

Give the easy ones a shot. Also check to see if the primary key is bent a little.

Yes, but you still have to get the key in to turn the ignition cylinder to the run position.
