The keys for my Dart went missing around 5 weeks ago. Turned the house and garage upside down, and inside out looking for them. After days of searching I ordered a new set of locks and installed them a couple weeks ago.
So yesterday I wend out in the backyard to throw something in the trash, and I looked down, and there was the missing keys. The spot where they were laying has been under about a foot of snow for weeks.
Anyway all is good cause I have new keys and locks all around, and threw in a new ignition switch just for the heck of it.

UPS man found the neighbors keys. I said "where did he find em?" He said "in my bedroom" Ha ... okay, I made that last part up. Found a 20 dollar bill in a snow berm once.
 
a few years ago i bought a fourwheeler at the beginning of winter
brought it home, unloaded it and parked the trailer
i knew for sure i had stuck the title in my pocket but couldnt find it anywere

4 months later, when the snow melted, i found the title not 5 feet from the trailer, it must have dropped out of my pocket when i unhitched the trailer
 
Get a spare set, or two. :rolleyes: Keep a spare set on you.
Years ago, i had a 69 Ranchero. The door lock button accidentally was pushed down as I was closing the door, with it running, at a bank machine. I had to walk a mile home, and a mile back, to get my other set of keys. Ever since, I carry two sets of keys with me!!!
 
My Brother came home drunk one night and dropped his keys in the dark yard grass.
After trying for awhile he grabbed a brick and tossed it to about where he dropped the keys.
He must of looked for 45 minutes before he found them under the brick.
 
25-30 years ago, as a supervisor in the jib department at the crane company I worked for, the boss calls up and wants to know where these 3 jibs were that had to ship in two weeks. All records showed they had been built but couldn't be found. So... we built three more. Come mid March as snow melted, they were found sitting against the fence with almost 10'of snow piled over and around them.
 
I put an extra set, of keys, on the roof of My car, at My cabin, in case My Son would want the car, when I was not around.-- I drove back home (12 miles), and the keys were gone. -- Later that year, a section of that road was re-paved. -- A worker, on that job, found the keys, which had My name on them, and a girl, in the contractors office, called Me and said that she had My keys.
 
Drove 5 miles with a full cup of coffee on my back bumper, it survived the trip! I lost a set of keys once for almost a year. Found them in a jacket pocket. It was the heaviest jacket I had and that night was cold, had not worn it since then.
 
Lost my original '67 keys at the beach...
Had a hole in my pocket...


Was pissed.
Forced the wing window open, then jumped the coil....but only after I asked some contractors who were remodeling a house across the street for a peice of wire.
Had spares at home, but what crud ending to nice beach day with the wife n kids...
 
I'd lost some keys by my shop when winter hit the grass wasnt as thick and found them.They were on a Fabo Key ring!
 
I had a pigeon land on the hood ornament of a 76 Cordoba I had as I was backing out of a Subway parking lot. that ****** rode there for 6 1/2 blocks to my driveway before he took off.
 
Free ride
A long time ago I went duck hunting with a friend who drove a 69 Charger 440 6pack.
He lost his wallet that contained 2 Jethro Tull tickets.
A year lather we went hunting in the same spot and he found the wallet and the tickets.
A couple years later the car burned to the ground, 6 pack fire.
