Yes, this is correct. Had your wife stopped the car, she would not have been able to restart it. Furthermore, there would have been a warning on the dash to say the fob was missing from the car as she drove away.

Interesting.   Thanks.   Of course,  she never looks at warning lights. Or (thankfully) this forum!

I drove the car out of the garage and my wife then drove several miles and returned home.  "Nothing unusual" I hear you say, except the key was in my pocket, at home, the whole time.  Surely not right?
