Mrs Happy and I had left town for the day to go shopping and walk Marty and Cooper, our Italian greyhounds, at the park. A while back I wrote a post about what to do if you lost your wallet. But what do you do if you lost your car keys in another city? That's exactly what we did today while walking Marty and Cooper. We got back to the car and I realized that the car key was not in my pocket.
There were only three possible times the key could have fallen out of my pocket. Twice when I was picking up dog poop. At that time we didn't have this dog poop disposal method in our arsenal. The other time was when I took my phone out of my pocket to answer a call.
So we did the walk over again diligently searching for the lost car key. After about half an hour of searching in the suspected spots, Mrs Happy found the key laying on the grass near a tree where I must have answered my cell phone. Thank God she found it. It saved hours of hassle getting a locksmith to open the car for us.
I've never lost a set of car keys before. Had we not found the key, we could have gotten home with the help of a locksmith since I had my set of keys in the car. But what if I didn't have my keys in the car? What good would a locksmith have done us?

Do they have some sort of blank car key that they would have sold us or would they have made us a spare on the spot? Would they have hot wired the Lexus to get us home? I have no idea what they would have done or what we would have done. Hopefully it wouldn't have involved a really long taxi ride.
Have you ever lost your car keys in another city? And if so, how did you get home?
