    Do they have the house keys attached, if so check the house doors, particularly from the outside.

    when you do find them, perhaps let him buy you something like this.

    When i went to lock up on Thursday i couldn't find my garage keys, since then the house has been turned upside down; clothes; furniture; car; garage, yesterday i emptied all the bins including the compost bins, finally found them in the middle of the lawn.
    I was given one of those detectors you suggested as a present 2yrs ago and it was still in a drawer unwrapped. I've learnt a lesson, it's now getting used.

    I'm presuming that the car is locked, and can only have been locked with the keys, so no chance that they are in the ignition, the footwell. Have you checked the boot?

    Was she bringing in shopping when she last saw them? Try in the collection of carrier bags/ bags-for-life in the cupboard (bottom drawer, wherever you keep them).

  • Plenty of folk use pendulum dowsing to find things......
  • This is definately the best method,

    "Think, where did you have them last?" :rotfl:
  • window sill in the toilet they are always there
    Nothing to see here, move along.
  • Buy a metal detector....
    Went shoplifting at the Disneystore today.

    Got a huge Buzz out of it.
  • Under the kitchen or any other table? She might have dropped them and kicked them underneath a chair or table without realising. They could have bounced off the skirting board and gone behind the fridge. Inside one of her shoes? I've sometimes found objects in one of my shoes so it's worth a look.
  • Could they be in the boot? My car needs the key to open the boot, then while your trying to pick up 20 items of shopping/kids wellies/a bicycle, they fall out of your hand unnoticed into the boot.

    Otherwise, if I lose my keys (and I seem to do this with alarming regularity) they are usually in a jacket or trouser pocket of a rarely-worn garment that I'd forgotten I'd been wearing.
