Answer

Take your vehicle either to a dealer or a qualified independent (try www.bimrs.org for one near you). Take all of the keys for the vehicle you have and they can deactivate the key in question. This means they will go into programming in EWS and take away the viability of the stolen key keeping it from being able to start the car leaving all of the remaining keys active.
