I never did find My Keys. I had a Locksmith make a Key using Door Lock which should have been same as Ignition. Looks like someone changed the Ignition Cylinder. Keys wouldn't work in Ignition.I had not tried the Ignition and Doors when I had the Keys .Bought this Car a Month ago and never tried all the Locks. I bought an Ignition Cylinder and carefully drilled the Pin and changed it. .According to previous Owner the Trunk and Glovebox were also not matching as original. so I can't get a Key made using Glovebox. I will be changing Trunk Lock also. Lesson learned.. Make sure You have a spare Set of Keys.

Isn't the glove box key the same as the trunk?

Mark: Very annoying I'm sure, but those keys are there some place! Try to picture your movements at the time, & retrace your steps.. Have your wife or someone else help you search.. Good luck..

As far as the trunk is concerned, if you cannot get into the trunk by removing the back seat, use a number of extensions to access the bolts that holds the catch. I have done this on occasion

Back to my Original Question. To remove the Trunk Cylinder without having a Key do I just drill through the Slot where the Key goes in which I assume cuts off the Pins which will allow Me to turn the Cylinder and open the Trunk. Then I can replace the Cylinder with a replacement using a Key? Should be able to reuse the Chrome Lock Housing?

I've misplaced keys a lot. Often times I put them in my coat pocket and when it gets too warm, I take the coat off and forget about the keys until I start looking for them.

Had a buddy couldn't find his key.
Finally/eventually it was found. He had absentmindedly put it in the watch pocket of his jeans. And when he checked his pockets he would fish down into the pocket and come up empty.
Also, check on top of the visor

I took a Door Cylinder to Locksmith Friday. I will check Monday and see if He can make a Key or not. If not I am going to order a complete Lock Set and replace them. I have checked everywhere at least 3 Times and no luck.
