Wednesday night the better-half and I went out to dinner to celebrate our first date night. As we were walking back to the car, I was carrying the Styrofoam-to-go box and as we approached the car, I pressed Unlock on my key fob.
We got in the car and I set the to-go box on the floor between my feet. As I set it down, the box popped open and I said, “Man Down”. We chuckled. I fixed the top, we rode home and I talked about how full I was and how we could have the leftover spaghetti for breakfast.
Yesterday afternoon we were leaving for Thanksgiving with friends and I realized my keys were not on the foyer table or in my purse. We looked in the car and couldn’t find them and then I raced back in the house to check my jeans from the previous night. No keys.
When we got home last night I looked in the refrigerator to see if I had put the keys in there when I put the to-go box in there. No keys and seriously wouldn’t we have noticed a set of keys in there?
So, I have no idea where my keys are and my keys are not something I misplace, ever. I have so few places I put my keys and I’m a serious creature of habit when it comes to things like this.
If the keys are really gone, there’s nothing about them that would lead them back to me. So the crazy killers will have to prey on someone else. I carry a minimalist key chain with only 2 car keys and two house-type keys–one of which is the key to my office and it needs to be turned in next week. The key chain has nothing else on it. I just know the cost of a new Honda key is going to piss me off.
Update:
We went by the restaurant to see if anyone turned them in and there are 2 sets of keys in the lost and found but mine are still missing. We also walked along the curb where we parked to see if the keys fell into the gutter but that came up empty too. So, I have an appointment at the dealership on Monday afternoon to have a new key made and programmed and the better-half’s key and the valet key reprogrammed.
Second Update:Total cost almost $166. Ouch.
