Lost...Trying to impress a new girlfriend, I 'borrowed' my mother's car. Dropping her off in London, I managed to lose the car keys between locking it and reaching the other side of the road. Utter humiliation followed as my mum took the train to London with the spare key...
What have you lost over the years?

Didn't exactly lose it but...I borrowed my mums little red Fiesta one night to go to a concert in Manchester, Taking a girl I rather liked..
Anyway go to the gig and all is grand we have a great laugh and at the end of the night we had back to the car.
Open the doors and climb in. Put the key in and turn and.... Nothing.
The engine won't start. Try again nothing..
So I ring my mum on my mobile to ask if there is any known reason why it would do this. She says no.
Needless to say I'm feeling a little embarrased with the break down in front of the girly.
So I call rescue services and wait... and wait... Rescue services ring me back and say they can't find the road so I say OK I'll push the car to the other end of the road where it meets one of the main roads..
So lots of knackering pushing and sweating later the car is in position.
Then my mobile rings.. Its my mum.
"Carl"
"Yes"
"You're not using the Black key are you?"
"Ummm hang on" Checks "Yeah why"
"That one doesn't work...."
"Why do you have a key for the car that doesn't work?"
"Well I just never got around to removing it."
AARRRRGHGGGH I'd been sat there for the best part of two hours by this point.
I pop the other key in and it fires straight up.
I don't borrow mums car anymore.
