My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them. His theory is that the car will be stolen. As I burst through the door, I came to a terrifying conclusion. His theory was right. The parking lot was empty.
I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen. Then I made the most difficult call of all, "Honey," I stammered; I always call him "honey" in times like these. "I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen." There was a period of silence. I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard his voice. "Dummy", he barked, "I dropped you off!"
Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me." he retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car." - Yep it's the golden years.

Skyguy, that's one you'll NEVER forget and laugh about for years.
Reminds me of the time our family visited Disney World several years ago. When we returned to the parking lot we couldn't find the car (it was a rental). It started to rain and we were all getting soaked, walking up and down the rows in search of our vehicle. I suggested to my husband that he use the horn alarm on the fob to locate the car - but to no avail. We were just about to call the police when he realized that he had been using the fob from our car 'back in Michigan'. We've never forgotten the row number again!!!
