No, and no. There are things I recall and things I don't. I recall I did not go in the back yard; not how soon I visited the restroom.

The spiders have actually been all sizes, from like in the picture down to pinhead that I felt worse about squishing.
I'm zeroing in. About 15 books to move and such, and I should be able to pull the couch further out and confirm the keys aren't there, at which point I'm done searching and will schedule the dealer.

My keys go in a drawer in our kitchen along with my cell phone, wallet and cash. I keep the spare keys in that drawer also along with the key to my motorcycle. They all have RFID chips and talk to the car if they are in close proximity so I don't keep them with the vehicle even though they are in my garage.

Several years ago, I was riding in my brother's car going to pick up some food. When I sit down anywhere, I typically will remove my wallet as it's just uncomfortable to do so. This time was no different, except that instead of holding my wallet in my hand, or putting it in a cupholder, etc, I thought it'd be a good idea to stick it in the arm handle on the ceiling of the car near the passenger door.
Well, we get to our location, my brother ends up paying, and we go home. We get back inside and start unpacking the food when I realized I didn't have my wallet with me, thinking it's just in the car somewhere. I go check his car, totalling forgetting that it's in the handle above the door, and can't find it anywhere. We look inside the house, outside between the car and the house, and even went back to the restaurant to look and ask if anyone found a wallet.
It wasn't until a 3rd look through his car that I happened to look up and see it sitting there wedged between the handle. I felt like an idiot lol.
Point of my story is do you think it is possible that you did something completely out of the norm and place the keys somewhere else that you normally don't, just like how I did with my wallet?

I "lost" my badge for work in a similar fashion, I was just running into a sandwich place to grab an online order, so I'd set my badge on my passenger seat, which isn't a normal thing. On one of the turns on my way back to work, it slid off and landed between the seat and the door. Searched and searched, declared it lost, a couple weeks later a passenger noticed it when they were getting into the car.
That is a great question and would find many things. But in this case, I think the answer is no, both from remembering and from looking anywhere it seems I could possibly have done that.
Well I'm done searching. In try 1 last night on the couch I found a book and a bunch of stuff. On try 2 today, which I wouldn't say is 100% but close and as close as I can practically get without a big hassle, I found another book and a bunch more stuff - pieces of the couch foam, gift cards, a second book, papers and more - but no keys.
So, I called the dealer. They said the soonest appointment is next Tuesday. I don't think that's good and got them to schedule this Friday.
I've gotten three estimates from them from three people asking four times. It'll be an awkward tow as it's a front wheel drive that can't be taken out of park but I asked AAA and they said they'll be able to do it.

I'm learning about the food delivery options this week. doordash will bring me a $5 KFC meal for $10, or two of them for $15. Some pizza places are expensive delivery. Pizza Hut had their weekly pasta special last night, but charge $4.50 delivery + tip. Good local Indian place delivers with a $30 minimum. Think I'll stick with the Chinese place. $15 minimum and just a tip.

All cars that I know of with a shift lock has an override button just for that purpose.
On the couch issue - I think pretty much everything under it came from falling behind it, being sat on the back/top. That wouldn't have happened with the keys, and there's not much way for them to have gotten under the couch. A bit sliding under from the ground in front, but kind of checked for that also. Still a mystery.

-You have a heater/AC vent on the floor nearby they could've fallen into?
-Any of your neighbors have things come up 'missing' mysteriously?
I know, grasping at straws
No vents - and theft is a possibility, from the car, just off they wouldn't take the car (or the $350 graphics card sitting in the passenger side).
You need a push button start so you can just leave the keys in your pocket like I do.
Agree. Who the hell thought it was ok to make keys that require the car at the dealer, and hours of expensive labor to make a new key?

Normally, until I got keyless ignition, I would have to get out of my car and then put the fob into my pocket but sometimes. I'll keep it in my hands, open the back door to pull out groceries, etc. And once found that I had dropped my house keys into one of the grocery bags that I had missed when I unpacked them. Went thru the grocery bags after searching car, etc to find the keys.

Sanity makes you keep in mind that they didn't "disappear into thin air." When I misplace something the silver lining is that in searching for it I get an overview of my situation, my surroundings. In doing that I sometimes notice objects that are not where I would have expected them, saving me the trouble of having to find them in the future.
Ben Franklin said something like "a place for everything and everything in its place." It's been said that this attitude is anti-revolutionary, and I have pondered that for decades. I'm in the midst of Ben Franklin's autobiography, an excellent book. He was hardly a reactionary. His attitude concerning everything in its place can, IMO, be largely attributable to his hard won success as a printer/publisher. He had a lot of competition. It took him many years working very hard and diligently just to get out of debt. He could never have achieved success unless his business was very efficient.

Off topic, but yes! Ol' Ben was really a terrific guy (family to me so I've always been keenly interested).
