It's likely to become an issue due to the wear on the key. We have two keys, and one is significantly more worn than the other, leading to frequent activation of the anti-theft feature. The problem may also be caused by the tumblers in the lock mechanism sticking. To minimize the odds of triggering the anti-theft system, try jiggling the key when inserting it.
