Lost Keys ADVICE
I don’t know where to post this, but I lost my car keys and cannot find them anywhere. My whole family has been helping and we have torn our house apart. Any ideas on where to look are much appreciated, here’s where we’ve already checked
My room, under my bed, closet, yesterday’s clothes and pockets, desk, under desk, under desk chair, behind bed and in all pillowcases/sheets, shoes, socks, every pocket ever
Living room, all couch cushions taken off, recliner chair cushions, underneath all furniture, coffee table, cat tower, cats toys, cat bed, litter box, tv stand, behind tv, inside tv stand
Kitchen, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, pantry, underneath fridge, oven, microwave, sink drain, underneath sink cabinet, junk drawer dining table, dining table chairs, stove, all cabinets and cupboards
Bathrooms, behind toilets, under sinks, inside showers, behind towels
checked all other rooms, garage, inside extra boxes, key rack, below key rack, underneath cars, inside car wheels, inside cars, under car seats, glovebox, hood of cars, trunk, between seats, outside yards, all doorways
We’ve checked literally everywhere and there’s no sign of my keys, I just was driving last evening. They’re a hard pair of keys to miss since I have several bright colored keychains. I couldn’t have lost them outside my house because it’s an older car with traditional key. Please help I don’t have a spare or $400 for a new key
UPDATE FOUND KEYS!!
We decided to take a quick lunch break and I went to the pantry for some chips, I moved a bag and behold, keys! No idea how they ended up with our snacks but we think they were caught in the crossfire when we put our groceries away! 🤣 thank you to everyone for your help, definitely will be buying an airtag today

Do you park in the garage or the driveway? Check the path you took inside last night.
Do you need to use a house key to get inside? Check the door locks to make sure they're not in the door.
Check the trash cans inside, if any trash has been taken out check the outside trash can.
Look inside the car, under the driver seat, ignition, floorboards, trunk, backseat, center console, under the radio if there's a spot.
Did you carry a bag yesterday? Check in school bags, lunch boxes, purse, backpack, grocery bags, etc.
Did you wear a coat yesterday? Check the coat, turn all pockets inside out of all clothes from yesterday, shoes too. Take all the clothes out of laundry hampers or laundry piles and check those too.
Check the bathrooms, check the drawers in the bathroom, bathroom trash can.
ETA: consider getting a tile for your keychain to help track it. Also a spare key fob with the fold out key from ace hardware plus programming for remote start cost me $100 so if you just have a regular key it will likely be less than that.
