You can't just call up a dealership and give them a vend # for a new key. If that were the case, anyone could do it to steal your vehicle. It has to be done by a specific person at the dealership, and you must show proof of ownership.
Stole my wife's Yukon in 2003 by doing this. Perp got the vin off of the truck in front of my house. Got his friend at the dealership to place an order to GM to send a key to the dealership. The friend had a racket going. Stole a bunch of vehicles this way.
