Wallet key is a great idea! Saves $ too!

[Ocean7]

when I got my previous car - it came with a wallet key. So I started keeping a car key in my wallet. You don't how many times this has saved me a locksmith fee. The last time i lost my keys was in a corn field. It was just about dark when I realized my keys were missing. There was no way I was going to look for them in the dark. So I pulled out my wallet key and off I went without delay. The next day my wife returned to the field and using my directions of where I thought it was lost - found it in about 10 minutes. The security remote was worth more than the key. So if you still have a real key and not one of those new smart key fobs -think about getting a wallet key made. Saves much aggravation and time when you lose your keys or lock them in the truck etc. Esp. handy when at the seashore or mountains, and discover your keys are missing.

I used to carry a spare key in my wallet but my last two cars have had security chips in the key's electronic "heads" and they are too thick to carry in a wallet.

yeah sadly my new car has the same deal - not thrilled about it. When that thing dies - you could be screwed regardless of what they claim in the manual. I'm still going to try and get the physical pop-out real door key made into a wallet key if that is possible. Ah modern technology! *L*

My keys always get put in a hiding place around the car when detecting.
Maybe purchasing one of those plastic rocks with a compartment inside to house your keys. Just place it behind a tree or under the car.

yeah, you can use the idea for educational purposes or essay if that floats your boat. Having been out of school for a very long time, I cannot help you with the rest of your question.

I got one of those hide a keys stuck under the chassis of my truck with the key in it. 5 years now off-roading and still hasn't fallen off. Saved my butt a few times.

My friend just lost a set of "new smart keys" to his truck. Cost him near $500 for a new set? Insane!
Peace

I just put a carabiner on my keys. Next time I go hunting I'll walk into the woods a ways and hang them up on a branch.
