i lost my car keys

Well, congratulations on joining the ranks of the absent-minded! Losing car keys is as Australian as a barbie on a Sunday. First, check the usual suspects: pockets, couch cushions, and the dog's mouth. If that fails, you’re looking at either getting a locksmith to cut a new key or contacting your dealership for a replacement fob—both can burn a hole in your wallet, typically between $150 and $500. Don’t forget to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy. Meanwhile, Tradingpost and CarShowroom occasionally list locksmith services, so give them a squiz. Lastly, consider a Bluetooth tracker next time; your future self will thank you.
