It all makes sense, I guess, on what the OP did with the keys. There are not enough people in the world that have soft hearts like that.

I keep telling myself that I'll be old one day. I hope somebody has patience with me when I get(more) confused about things.

Hope things work out.

P.S.

I have a door key hid in a magnetic box somewhere on my TT frame.
Not telling where. Hope I remember where I put it.

As this is my first time posting on this forum I might be having some initial problems navigating and may have repeated myself...or maybe my mind really is on the down slope and I'm forgetting what I said? Oh well. Thanks to all for the lively conversation. Did not know I was going to generate so many responses. I feel like I just met a whole bunch of new friends!

I just spent three weeks trying to find my house keys. Finally took spares to Lowes and replaced my YMCA at $3 per family member... and they immediately showed up on a shelf where I put them while working on a project. *sigh*

Napercussion you will find this a helpful place. Hope we can help more.

YMCA tags that was. Blame the tablet.

DW found the flashlight this morning - in a bag of stuff she removed from our old trailer just before our trailer trade! Whooda thunk?

Now... whirrrzzz that wrench?

That's where I'm afraid my keys are...in a bag of stuff she threw away!

After reading this thread and checking my keys I discovered I was down to my last Kubota tractor key. I called the dealer to get another and found out that each tractor model has the same key. Therefore the key that fits mine also fits every other Kubota that is the same model number as mine. Or to put it another way I could just carry my key with me and when I see another tractor like mine just drive off with it. So much for keys and security. I thought I was safe all these years.

DW found the flashlight yesterday. Today I found the wayward wrench!!! Yahoo... I'm on a roll!

Er, uh... the wrench was where I put it and where I'd already looked. I need more assistance!

I knew lawnmower keys were about like that, as you can pick them up at big box stores like Lowes.

Boat keys are like RV's too. I needed a spare for my Yamaha outboard, and easily just ordered it off the internet, pre-made. Just needed the 3 digit code.

My wife knows everything, so I ask her when I loose something. She clicks in her radar and the next day the item appears. (one item reappeared with what looked like a new price tag on it )

[Timex]

My wife thinks that if she doesn't use it and I haven't used it for a while that it needs to be thrown away. Then when I need it and start looking for it, she says, "Oh, I threw that away".

Now where did I lose my hair?

That sounds similar to around my shop. I'll write down numbers, prices, etc on the first thing handy..... which may be an envelope, magazine cover, or Sonic cup. I am also bad about using my Palm Pilot..........which consists entirely of the palm of my hand.

My office girl will come clean up, and throw all my important stuff away........not realizing the method to my madness. She's better than she used to be, and will now usually look over everything.

Another thought is to pick the lock. I am not a locksmith nor am I a thief, but locks are pretty simple pieces of equipment with a few moving parts. One doesn't need high dollar lock picks either. A little knowledge (and maybe some youtube time) you will learn that locks not that hard to pick. Granted I did sit in on a lock pick course when I was in the Navy, so I have that going for me. I did make use of that lesson in follow on commands, I would run around at night locking peoples desks. They were the standard run of the mill military desks from post WW2 that no one had keys for. Yes we always played jokes and pulled pranks. LOL

My wife thinks she knows everything and is always telling me to remember where I put things. I gave her a set of keys hoping that if I should lose mine that she would have hers. So much for that idea...

We have been staying in a RV Resort (trailer park) for 6 months and lady in a motor home locked her keys inside. Our SP 240's key unlocked hers door. Several of us were trying to help so we checked everyone's. Our key opened two other campers. Another forest river trailer keys unlocked three other campers. Small world but convenient if you need to get into your trailer. We keep an extra key in one of those magnetic holders on the back side of the propane tank, under the cover. Never had to use it but good to know. Thankfully most people are honest. Another time we jimmied the fire escape window lock and pushed this women up an over the sill so she could get in her 5th wheel.

Reminds me of the time some years back where we had to impound a semi cab some yahoo had left parked in a turn lane outside his apartment complex (right in front of the right turn only and "no parking" sign). Commercial wrecker driver team showed up and before trying to hook it to the wrecker one of them pulled out a key ring with about 30 or so keys on it. About 8 keys in, it unlocked the door and he got it started. They drove it back to the lot.

I guess there are only so many combinations of key cuts.

Another thing to remember is that means some enterprising thief who might have a set of keys collected has a decent chance of opening your unit in storage as well.

My selling dealer (Suburban RV of Mansfield OH) was kind enough to give me a serial numbers page that listed the numbers from all my installed appliances and locks.
Think I might order a couple extra keys after reading this thread

Napercussion.. I feel your pain, been there, done that. This lovely gal loses everything. Oh at the money I have spent to replace her car keys
