Key fob destroyed: Moderate solution wanted...
So, my wife left the #1 fob on the RL's top today and it ended up in the street, then it was run over by someone and destroyed. I know that the dealer is going to charge an arm/leg/1st born for a new one. Is there any way to pickup a new one on-line and have the key cut at Home Depot (or some other scheme to not fork out $$ to remedy this)? Thanks...

the RL's key a special smart key, it's going to be a pretty penny to get one. The Dealer is the only one who can make the smart key with the keyless entry and start function.

Did you take it apart? Is the circuit board damaged/broken? If the circuit board is in good shape then you can just buy a used key off EBay and use the case to replace it.
If the whole thing is damaged, you'll have to call the dealer to see if they'll reprogram a key from one car to another.
