Left mine on the boot lid down in deepest Cornwall - and didn't miss it until I filled up with petrol a week later back home - and 200 miles away. Bl***y expensive mistake as it cost me £12 to replace :-(

Left mine on the pump a few years back, still connected to the missis keys, probably 3 car keys and 3 house keys on the fob iirc, drove away with my keys and never did get it back, its always more expensive when you need to get 6 keys cut at the same time as getting a new cap.

If It rains enough, will fill the tank up for u.....done that.......bad move

sQuick..

Plus the Nag, Nag, Nagging that's associated. I wonder, does she still bring it up?

The wife thought she'd lost her keys a few months ago. So I gave her a spare set from the safe. From the look of surprise on her face I don't suppose she was expecting me to be that organised. Anyway - she found the "lost" ones in a jacket she claimed she hadn't worn.

Rule of lost things. first you look where it is likely to be. then you look in the less likely places. finally you look in all the places you know it is very unlikely to be.

if you do these three things properly then it was stolen by the sock fairy, the one who interferes with the laundry and takes odd socks, you know the one.

Wierd - in my house the wife never loses anything. I however do it all the time. My first recourse is to ask the wife who will immediately zero in on whatever it is I've lost. Bless her. Sometimes I don't even have to ask her. I'll wander around aimlessly, opening random cupboards and drawers, she'll see this and respond with "it's in the " without me even telling her what it is I've lost. Quite remarkable.

Since we moved house we've been very good with keys. Just inside the kitchen door is a row of hooks and we've both got the habit of hanging keys up while they're still in our hands from opening the front door.

Now - must put up a hook for my wallet....

cor that's clever........

Strange, mine (well, wife to be) also never loses anything. Anything that is misplaced is immediately my fault. She, sorry, *I* even managed to lose the cat once, 3 days into a business trip to Germany. Go figure!
