Good. Reminds Me of my own wasted Search. Last Year when I bought this Car I only received One Set of Keys. My first Stop should have been getting a Second Set of Keys Cut. I didn't. I was working under the Dash installing an Electric Wiper Motor. Using the ignition Key to verify Power Flow.Key in and out of the Ignition within Arms Reach. Long Story Short I misplaced the Keys. Tore the Garage Apart looking everywhere. Couldn't find them. Got replacement Ignition Switch and Cylinder. Changed the Trunk Lock. Guess where I found the Keys a Month ago? They fell between the Carpet and the Firewall and ended up at the Floor behind the Carpet. Only took a Year to find them.

I'm surprised it took a year to find the keys. When I misplace something and go buy a replacement, I usually find the old one within an hour. oldcarmark (8/16/2019)

The whole nine Yards. Learned my Lesson. ALWAYS have 2 Sets of Keys.

I keep spare keys in my wallet, too. That way I can get into my vehicle if I lock the keys inside.

A friend of mine used to keep a spare key in his taillight! My uncle used to keep one in his air cleaner. That wouldn't work on a vehicle with a hood latch inside though!
