If its a modern truck with remote locking be prepared for a shock at the bill!
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

I know that thing about keys...I have an oldish car and last year went for a walk in the woods, collecting this and that, stopping to have a break ::) and meandering, also had some nice treats in my pocket!! than, I found I had lost the car key and it was getting dark..luckily I had my mobile and was not too far from my OK who then asked a guest for a lift with the spare key...so now, I only have 1 car key on the key ring with the house keys on as we only have one set of them as they are cast iron and HUGE..so that was that, then, yesterday I was outside and my partner brought my bestest glasses and asked if I needed them, I said no because they often slip off and they are varifoclus so make me feel strange worn when walking alond, anyway, he cannot remember where he put them!!! so all I have now is the scratched ones that my pups got hold of and my reading glasses!!!

Whatever you have lost - STOP LOOKING FOR IT/THEM! They always turn up when you least expect them.  :)

We are forever losing keys to vehicles, but they do turn up eventually.  Mobile phones I can lose very easily. I burnt my last one by accident on the bonfire. Got a nice new one last week.  In my pocket it was. Out in the fields and guess what?  I must have dropped it.  Dare not tell hubby, he was already mad about the bonfire. Retraced my steps, nearing dark too .....spotted it. Amazing, as its very small.  Need a reflective cover, not a black one ....and a beep on it, so I can find it.  Then yesterday, found it missing yet again. Searched field, hay barn, hen sheds. What else had I done?  Cleaned the hens out.  Went to full wheelbarrow, and sitting on the top ....phone. Must have dropped onto the barrow.  Thank God I had not tipped it on the massive muck heap!!

Hope you get sorted with your keys, Langdon.

Now everything is so small it is easy to loose things, I liked the days when the TV remote was on a wire from the  TV.....now you have several of them and they have a habbit of going down the sofa!!!! I just either wash or drop phones down the looe!! As I said before, if I loose this key ring to the house I am stumpted as its cast iron, there are 2 keys to the lock and another big cast iron key to the back door so changing them would be loads!!!

Keys, keys, keys - are they not the bain of everyones life!  My misses bought me a key rack - do you think I use it? No.  Forever losing keys all the time. 

I am sure thats its easier to leave them in the vehicle these days (hope no random thief's are reading!!) as it really is the safest place for them.

Bring on the fingerprint start button, thats what I say. That is unless I lose a finger in a PTO shaft or something, then I will have to keep my finger on ice.  (at least I will know its in the freezer I spose!)
