Question: Near the end, when Baby and Debra are stopped by the police on the bridge, they have a full set of keys (car and what looks like house keys) that Baby removes from the ignition and tosses into the river. How the hell did they get the keys if they stole the car?

Answer: The keys were probably in the car when they took it. Leaving keys in an unattended car is stupid, but not uncommon. I've seen lots of news reports where a car theft victim starts their story with, "I only left the car running for a minute while I..."
Agree with everything here, and to expand upon this answer, we do see Baby carjack somebody earlier in the movie while they were in their car with their engine running (the older lady to whom he returns the purse). Quite possible this is how he obtained the pickup truck.
