Go to any Mazda dealer...
Tell them what year and model your Mazda is...
Give them the 4 digit #...

And they can cut you a new key in a matter of minutes.
They don't need the original to make you a new one.

Nothing.
If the Mazda dealer is lazy, then they can be cutting keys left and right.
They SHOULD be asking for proof of ownership - either reg or title + ID.

This is one of the reasons why I broke off the VIN plate on the windshield.
This prevents thieves from getting my VIN and then getting a key cut from an unwary Mazda dealer.
If cops get all pissy about the VIN, I just open my door or lift the hood for proof.
