Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
On our trip to Ireland I lost the set of car bike rack keys; they were in a bag on the roof and I left them up there when chasing an issue. We tried to find them by driving from Nenagh to Birdhill, having lunch on Thursday, then driving back. No sign ...

Replacements for four bike rack locks have cost me £9 for 8 keys :blush:

Oh, and after three days of rain in Co. Cork, it rained all the way back yesterday to Dublin and across Wales to Yorkshire in the early hours. It's also now raining in Yorkshire. The car's absolutely filthy from travelling and race support but I'm not giving it a proper external wash and internal clean in the rain.

Better get the pannier's packed properly for this weeks commute later. 'Work shoes' are downstairs from since MIL's funeral, nearly two weeks ago !

You are not alone in losing things off the car roof. Tourists here are forever driving off and leaving mostly cameras and phones on the car roof. Mostly they get them back but some obviously just write it off and never enquire if anybody has picked the item up. I did find one on top of a wall once but it was full of rainwater and ruined anyway so I just left it.
