Okay, Drat! It happened! I've lost the darn door key. The door/entrance/entryway is completely closed. Of course, it happens at the worst possible time.
I wonder if there's a way in... maybe I could climb through a window/pry open a loose pane/sneak past the dog. Nah, that's too risky/dangerous/outlandish. Looks like I'm going to have to call my neighbor/wait for my roommate/ask for help from the landlord. This is such a pain in the neck.
I swear, next time I buy a spare key/hide a key somewhere safe/install a smart lock.
Car Keys Gone Missing? Don't Panic!
Losing your car keys can be a totally frustrating experience. It happens to the greatest of us! But before you freak out, take a second and try these steps.
First, go back over your movements i am locked out of my car from the past few hours. Think about where you've been and what you've used. Maybe they're in a unexpected place than usual. Check your purse thoroughly, as well as any counters you might have placed them on.
If you still can't find them, it might be time to call a trusted neighbor. They may have seen your keys or could help you hunt for them.
Finally, if all else fails, don't despair. You can always reach out a locksmith to make you a new set of keys. It might be an extra price, but it's definitely better than being stuck without your car!
