Most of us have done similar things. A recent example was at MCACN. I had my black RS/Z shipped and in the Sinister 69 display. I had to move my car, and two other cars to several locations during move in. When the actual display location was available couldn't locate my key although I was sure I put them on the drivers floor. Without the keys I couldn't move the car or have it transported back to FL. I'm pretty busy with Vintage Certification and thought perhaps they fell inside one of the cars I was inspecting. I checked my car at least 6 times and even contacted a friend who is a locksmith.
I checked a 7th time and found when I got out of the car quickly i pushed the rubber mat way forward along with the key. The transporters paper mat was what all I checked under. Once I removed the paper I saw the rubber mat and the key up under the pedals. I was relieved but pissed at my stupidity of rushing and not being careful. Lesson learned I think

When I show my car,I always forget things or where I put them.
One time I locked my ignition & trunk key inside my Chevelle trunk,as well as locked both doors. No second spare set @ home either. I had to wait for the show to empty out,then hitch a ride back home to retrieve a slim-jim,my tool box and some portable lights.I brought it all back to the show field which was now completely empty,in a corn field and near midnight.I opened a door with the slim-jim,removed the back seat back,then used all of my socket extensions that I had @ that time to just barely reach into the trunk and un-bolt the bolts holding the trunk striker from inside the trunk.It worked,and since then before every show,I put a piece of two way tape inside my pants pocket,and then insert both the second back up ignition & trunk keys to that piece of two way tape,holding them tightly inside my pocket and holding the pocket closed. ..Never again.

I buy the small magnet boxes that hold a couple keys and place them around the rear taillight assembly or use a plastic wire tie to hang extra keys somewhere. Been doing this for years.
