Well my wife... if I had to toss blame lol. We have literally searched the entire house for over 8 hours total. about 4 yesterday, and another 4 today. Even had my father come over with a metal detector to go through the entire front yard in the snow. Searched my garage, everything.
So if any of you guys are psychics or have a bizzare dream about my car keys, please for the love of god tell me lol

Well where does everyone keep their keys. They're in the...building...

dont you have spares?

Where is the last place you remember seeing them KC?

For some reason i keep thinking it might be in bathroom /washroom / laundry room.

The Locksmith has them, look em' up in the phone book.

Dont trust Luna.

King, the spirits contacted me today to say:
Check your car.

Nope, nope and NOPE! I swear these keys are no where.

We have spares to everything BUT the car. Simply because the car key has a chip in it, and its like $200 bucks for a spare lol. Suckage I know, but all I can do now really, is just call the damn lock smith like WREX suggested. This isnt going to be fun at ALL. Oh well, might actually stop messing around and buy a spare come tax season.

BUT when the keys pop up after Ive spent a gak ton of cash getting new ones, Ill let everyone know who the winner was for the guess lol Maybe they can get a prize or something

Check the fridge, seriously, I've found saucepans, mobile phones and all sorts. I am actually quite disturbed by my mothers absent mind sometimes

Also, big tip, don't rumage through a bag/rucksack pocket etc, EMPTY it! Many a time have I spent ages rumaging through my small rucksack for 5min, not able to find a large object of all things, only finding it on emptying the whole bag

Your keys are probably with the 100+ pairs of sunglasses I've lost over the years. Be thankful you didn't lose your wallet.

My third eye is suggesting under the driver's seat of your car.

Seriously, done all those things. I even went piece by stinky piece of trash, in both my trash cans (I dont know how garbage men do it ) Checked the car 3 times. The last place the keys were, were on the hook that we always hang them on. The keys have a cool belt clip on them, so they hang securely on the wall.
Tiss a friggin mystery folks
If I were a real Ork I just believe I dont need the keys anymore, and its happen. DAMN THIS HUMAN FORM!

Street gutter.

Unless you park in a garage.

In the sock drawer by the, you know. Socks.

Did you check the washing machine/dryer? Perhaps they followed all the dozens of left socks into that extradimensional warp where no clothing can ever escape from...

Oh, and the laws of irony tell us that you will find your keys - just as soon as you fork out the cash for a new set. (Like how nothing under warranty ever breaks - until the warranty expires).

1) Do you have kids?

2) Did you check the Washer & Dryer?


Eric

Go and walk through your normal 'coming home' routine. Look anywhere you may have walked.
Check the clothes you wore, where you hung them and the clothes hamper/washer/drier.
Then work outwards.
Did you sit at a desk?
Did you sit on the couch to watch TV?
Did you peep through the neighbours bedroom window at 9.30pm?
Did you go straight to bed?

Check the couch, any small tables near the doorway, stuff like that. Then after a while give up on it. About 10mins to 1hour after you give up you'll usually accidentally find it or notice it staring straight at you, mocking you.

Check coat pockets.

They'll be in the last place you look, cause then you'll have found them, and it'd be silly to keep looking.

check the outside of your door and the fridge.

Where the keys used to get into the house or did you/family let your wife in?

If she let herself in they must be in the house somewhere, I too have found keys in the fridge, in the recycling box and the bin so make sure you check your rubbish before you chuck it out.

Also if they are not in the house, i.e. your wife didn't have them when she got in, get her to check ender the car seats, glove box or places like under her desk, in her desk drawers and her locker at work.

Good luck finding them.

First, your avatar makes me laugh.

An yea we did all that. I mean, I made my wife literally reenact the whole thing from when she came home all the way up till we went to bed.

Locclo - Ive been saying since the first attempt to look, that they somehow fell through a worm hole and into another parallel Earth. Right now some techpriest is logging my keys into the "ancient technology" bin. And totally agree with you, I am going to fork out cash to get said keys, just to walk into my house and see the keys on the damn counter. Thats how my luck works out anyways

Well, that settles it. If you ever want to unravel this mystery, you've got to buy new keys. Also, check in your couch cushions.

The funny thing about the couch. I KNOW they arnt in any part of the couch because of this

My son (almost 5) was jumping on it the other day (not suppose to) and broke a support out from the back of it. SO yesterday, I toare the bottom of the couch off to fix it. It took about 20 minutes of jarring, shaking, flipping and the like to fix it.

SO there is no way in HELL those keys are in it lol

Do you have very young children?
When my son was 2 he threw my keys in the toilet,twice.
Also,second checking the fridge and freezer,I've come home from work and put the keys in the fridge dozens of times.

Yea my son (almost 5)
and the devil herself, my daughter is 1.

Checked the toilet, but we keep the bathroom closed off because she IS THE DEVIL, and toilet paper is pricey.

Fridge/freezer. You name it we checked lol

Hmmm,the only other places I have ever lost my keys have been inside a jacket lining (their was a hole in the pocket and the keys worked their way into the lining and I once put them in the medicine cabnet (in a hurry shaving).
My Girlfriend once put the car keys in her boot and then forgot she did so....
Yeah that's all I got.
Sidenote: I feel you about your Daughter,I'm convinced my Daughter has 666 on her head ,just under her hair.

OK THEY ARE FOUND!


I dont have ANY friggin clue how, but my wife found them in the ditch of our front yard lol. Somehow, had to of been stuck on someones coat or something. BUT HURRAY! I can finally go somewhere!

Thanks for all the ideas DAKKA. If nothing else, this proves that none of you are psychic lol

Im psychic but the voices inside my head told me not to tell you where they are.

Well pfft. I was gonna say but I assumed that would have been the first place you would check.

But still - aren't you glad you didn't buy a new set? Because then you would've wasted all that money on a new set, then found the old ones

Glad you found your keys. Really sucks to lose something as important as that.
