stadams1024 tells us more.
I am the OP. Let me explain the situation more in depth since I only had 300 characters to do so before. My husband had lost his car keys, so I gave him my set and I took the spare lock key and the spare ignition key. I needed to get some groceries and he was at work, so I just went. Before I got out of the car to go inside, I put the keys in my sweatshirt pocket and got out. I got my groceries and came back out to the car, and yes it was in the same spot. I reached in my pocket to pull out my keys and only the lock key was there. I unlocked the car and immediately searched both the front seats, under the seats, in the cracks between the seats and even the back seat. I looked under the car and in the ignition too. I retraced my steps in the store three times and then checked my car again. I asked the service desk if anyone turned in a loose key, but no one had. I called my husband but he couldn't leave to pick me up, so I walked 4 miles home. The walk itself wouldn't have been so horrible had I not broken my foot a few months ago; it still bothers me, and there weren't any sidewalks half the way, so I kept twisting my ankle in holes in the ground. After my husband came home from work, he took me back to the store with his keys and I drove home. It wasn't until a week or so later that I actually found the key in the passenger seat, close to where the back of the cushion and the seat of the cushion met. There is no way I could have missed it when I searched for it and I had driven it a handful of times between the incident and when I found it. It literally appeared out of thin air and it still baffles me.

Wow
Sounds similar to my story though I was working out with a friend and put the keys in her bike then looked for them everywhere then my friend had them all along .... She was just sitting inside her house (btw it was pouring rain) waiting for me ...-_-
I had the same situation except my keys were still in the ignition
At least the car was still there! Would have been worse if someone had spotted it first, broken in and taken the car themselves.
Was it exactly where you parked it? Because that happened once to a friend and I when we went to the mall, she must have dropped her keys near the car, and after searching the mall we headed back out to the car in case she had dropped them there. The car was in a different parking spot and the radio station had been changed. We were just grateful that whoever had 'borrowed' it had put it back and thoughtfully tucked the keys just underneath the car for us to find. It was seriously bizarre and funny at the same time.

Haha, don't worry OP, weirder things have happened! After taking my car in for repair (some dimwit stopped at a green light... I didn't), they ended up finding a cellphone that I had lost nearly four years prior, it was hilarious! I had turned my car inside out looking for it when I'd initially lost it, so I had NO IDEA where they found it, especially since they had only been repairing the front fender.
#114. Your comment made me smile. Could you imagine life if half the things on FML went down exactly as they have been written! I am sure artistic license is used in a great number of the stories. :)
Maybe some kind stranger found it, and, using the remote opener, found your car by its chirps and placed it inside.
to be fair, the onlybreason you have atumbs up, is because my finger slip so THUMS DOWN

In my opinion that is a win win situation, good workout and you also found your keys.
What is it with keys this week?
