Loosing keys is dreadful... I lost mine last year.. it was horrible. I felt like I'd chopped my hand off. They turned up though... in the most bizarre place. They were behind a pair of 10ft wooden gates, between ours and next doors houses in our next door neighbours trailer!!!! Which is propped up against their wall.
Go figure!!!

Mudbath I hope you reported it to the police about the keys and the 2 men - they could maybe catch them later if they are lurking in the vicinity???? I am sorry you had to go to such lengths but its better to be safe than sorry - you could claim the replacement keys on your insurance - just a thought!
And put Stripes down - you know you shouldnt be lifting heavy things - wait until tomorrow when you go to the park!!!!
