I lost my car keys

Poltergeist activity. In the coming weeks, you will find random household items in the yard. Your keys may even reappear.

I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, but it is the most important question. What is the make and model of the vehicle? The answer to this will greatly increase your chances for us helping you resolve your keynundrum.

For some odd reason, he refuses to say.

He'll never find his keys then.

But that's impossible. Between the time I know the key was in the ignition in my driveway, and when it was lost, I'd only gone from the car in the house and back.

Nothing is impossible, I'd call. Also check with neighbors. It may have dropped far enough away from your car and not close enough to your house to warrant "not really sure whose these are, probably this neighbor but I'll wait for them to come to me." Or, as I said before, perhaps an animal picked them up and dropped them closer to a neutral area and a neighbor or passerby picked them up and either is awaiting someone to claim them or turned them into some authority.

Attach lego keychain to fob/key ring.
Attach lego brick #3022 (2x2 flat, color variant depending) to belt, inside or outside, above pocket of choice.
Attach keygo to beltbrick. No more lost keys!

I think you missed Adam's sarcasm.

But it is IMO. The car had to have the keys in the ignition when I parked. That's 10 feet from my door, and nowhere near any property line. I didn't go anywhere but in the house. On the animal idea, that'd have to be cats and I don't feel there's any real chance of that. The whole idea of them having been dropped on the ground to begin with is very low chance to begin with - there are two possibilities, I forgot to take them out of the ignition, or I put them in my pocket. I didn't leave them in the ignition, unless someone stole them from there overnight, low chance. And there's almost no chance of their falling from my pocket to the ground if I put them in my pocket - and if they did, I think they'd still be there unmolested by cats. If the cats DID take them, which they didn't, they're probably unrecoverable in the back yard. I'm still searching the house for day 6, assuming they weren't stolen from the ignition.

was the couch

!!!

 

[Craig234]

!!!

The couch has actually been my focus since early this morning. Lot of stuff to move to get under it. And it's pissing me off how there are a lot of spiders as I move books and magazines. Dark juicy spiders.

As long as you're not a hobbit you should be fine.

Did you possibly have them in your hands as you took stuff out of the vehicle and brought them into the house instead of putting them into your pockets?

 

[Thebobo]

So you didn't rush to the bathroom as soon as you got home?

 

[nakedfrog]

Just buy new keys, the lost ones should turn up shortly after that.

Normally how this kind of thing works for me anyway.

I don't get it - until he accepts the possibility of the impossible or inconceivable happening, he won't find them.


OP:
Take a rake to the yard, to any mulch, rocks, or dirt, use it to shake through any shrubs, comb through areas of yard that don't appear to have been touched.

Where you live, do crows, squirrels, etc not exist or something?

With it apparently only being 2 keys on the ring, they could end up just about anywhere and be missed when searching.



I say we're being bamboozled.

Unlikely but possible. I've accounted for that in looking anywhere they might have fallen if I did that. Normally I'd have no reason to keep them in my hand; the motion is out of ignition, into pocket. No reason for out of ignition, keep in hand, so the two normal scenarios are in pocket, or forget and leave in the ignition.

 

[Craig234]

If I did, I've searched everywhere that that would include.

You say wrong - and OK, I'll do the impossible places now, starting inside your house. What's the address?

We don't really have the bird/squirrel thing here.

 

[Craig234]

Just now, another way too big dark spider under a magazine cover. This is ridiculous. Something like:

 

[Craig234]

Imagine dozens and dozens of magazines and papers and books, and to move them to make room to move the couch, each one has to be picked up carefully by the corner and turned over, and every few, a big spider come racing across it that was hiding underneath. Good news is at least I'm getting rid of some spiders.

 

[nakedfrog]

It sounds like you may have too many magazines laying around.

 

[Thebobo]

If you don't remember that? hmmm. Do you smoke the weed? ~

That's like saying trump tells too many lies. A big understatement. I'm reducing them.
