Not a good start to the day

[Mike Jackson]

Headed out for a beach walk with the guys. We were walking along the beach when I realised that my keys were no longer clipped on my belt loop. Half an hour searching didn't reveal them so Sue, my walking partner, shot back home to grab my spares for me whilst I continued to have a bit of a search. The worst thing about losing the keys is they had the little tradepoint tag on with my name on it. As the beast is sign written with my name this ties them to it. My front door key was also on the ring and this could easily be found from the gas safe website.

Sue turned up with the spares and stopped to have ten minutes more searching whilst I drove home adding up the cost of changing all the locks. This was starting to look expensive as the front door lock is a Chubb 3R35 Sashlock which costs over a ton without figuring extra keys at a tenner a pop. As I was sinking further into my depression my phone rang. It was Sue, she'd found my keys about ten feet away from where we had walked, they must have dropped off me belt and I must have accidentally booted them.

Better Karabiner needed I think. Can't cope with that stress again.

My girlfriend lost her phone on the train the other day and was immediately stressing about the fact people could get credit card information and all sorts from it. I told her (easy to advise in my position, little short of impossible to take this advice when given) that you've got to realise the vast majority of people when they find something lost will not opportunistically use it for criminal activity. Infact you'd surely have to be very unlucky indeed for the first person to come across your lost possession to be the type just cruising for a window for robbery and identify fraud. I'd wager you'd have to repeat the experiment hundreds of times before someone at ill intent in mind. We later found an Australian woman had found it and taken a detour to hand it in. She now has it back.

That said it was only yesterday I was saying what a good idea it would be to make a duplicate bunch of keys. This kind of hammers it home. I've never lost my bunch of keys but I imagine the feeling is uniquely depressing.

Not sure what the implications are in hasting but here in Manchester walking around with a bunch of keys on your belt doesn't mean they are for your front! Door.

It doesn really apply but kinda like loosing your phone. People use ICE- incase of emergency thing in there contacts incase somthing happens to them ! I know a few family members etc that do it but they all have passwords locking there phone. So theres no point !

Glad you found them Mike. I lost my car once, searched for over half an hour and was about to call the police when I spotted it - bloody Trafford Centre car park, it's stupidly big.

Glad you found them Mike.

No worse feeling than losing something so valuable!

There's also no better feeling than when they turn up!
