Car, home and office keys often go missing. After all, they are small and easy to lose. We carry our keys everywhere we go, it’s only natural for them to sometimes go missing.

How many times have you arrived at your door, only to find your keys are missing? For most people this happens often. If this has never happened to you, here’s a few tips on what you should do if you’ve lost keys:

1. Don’t panic, it happens

When you first discover our keys are gone, the first instinct is to panic. Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us. The best thing to do is to stay calm. Panicking won’t help you with your search. 

2. Check the roof of your car

It’s only natural to want to try and carry all the groceries at once from your car into your home. This is how your keys could end up on the roof of your car. You put them there for only a second and forget about them while trying to show off your strength.

3. Check your pet’s favourite spot

Your pet loves to play fetch. It’s not unusual for pets to grab something of yours. If you have a pet, you may have noticed your socks or shoes sometimes go missing. The same thing can happen with your keys. That new key chain may seem like an attractive new pet toy. Check your pet’s favourite spot, they may be the culprit. 

4. Check your home door

If you came home in a rush, you may have left your keys in the door lock. It’s easy to get distracted and forget to take the key out the door after unlocking it.

5. Check the kitchen

This is an obvious one, but one you could sometimes forget. You often come home from the grocery store with what seems like hundreds of bags. The first thing you do is drop everything off in the kitchen. Between putting all the food away, it’s easy to put your keys in a place where your food belongs. 

6. Check the bathroom

You’ve been stuck in traffic for the past hour and you need the toilet. Where’s the first place you’re going when you get home? It’s easy to forget your keys in the bathroom when you’re washing your hands.

7. Check the couch

If you’re like most people, you may enjoy lounging on the couch after a long day. You know those little creases in your couch? They may have sucked up your keys. Move all the pillows and check all the creases in case your keys fell out of your pocket.

8. Call the locksmith

You can’t find your keys anywhere, but at least you tried. They may be stuck in your car somewhere out of sight, like the boot. Worry not, Key Insurance from Bidvest Insurance has you covered.
