I lost a car key once whilst walking my beloved, and long dead, mutt up on Scout Scar, Kendal.
Whoever found it must've blipped the car in the car park and then helpfully put a note under the windscreen wiper explaning where she/he had then hidden it (the key not the car).
Thankfully, we live in a very low crime area.

Smart thinking! I think you were lucky - not so much to not have the car stolen, but to get the key back like that.I lost a car key once whilst walking my beloved, and long dead mutt, up on Scout Scar, Kendal.

When I had my last motorhome I never ever went outside without a set of keys. Got me out of potential trouble a couple of times. I carry this habit over to my present car as a friend with the same make and model found out the hard way that due to some electronic quirk it can spontaneously close any open windows and lock the doors with the keys still in the ignition. This was in a ferry queue but fortunately another friend who was a car mechanic got it open in time.

French car but to be fair the guy is accident prone and anything bad going to happen he is probably there.Which idiot wrote that software?
When going on a mountain bike trip with him it is advisable to wear a wet suit. Don't ask how I know that.

So I go out to do some essential shopping during lockdown. I buy some stuff but can't find my change and keys pursey thing. Odd, I thought I'd put it in my pocket. Never mind must've left it behind so I pay by card (different pursey thing). I then go on to do more essential shopping and pay by card. On the way back I notice something in the gutter where I'd earlier parked the car. You guessed it - my missing pursey thing. Intact with keys and dosh. It was about 2 hrs between parking there and returning that way. Normally that parking slot would have filled up the moment I'd vacated it so I wouldn't have seen it. So fortunate that there was no other cars about (lockdown) and that no one had "found" it.
