They are in the pocket of the last jacket you wore, which could be in one of the following places: 1. The coat closet. 2. The laundry hamper 3. Hanging on the back of the dining room chair.

Good Luck!

6. Coat pocket? Refrigerator?

If you went shopping, the keys could have fallen in the bag. Check any bags that you have not emptied and put away.

BTW, I couldn't find my keys once and later found them in my coat. The keys had fallen through a hole in the pocket and were stuck in the coat lining.

of couch and chairs, and under the place you sit. My friend's keys used to fall out of his pockets and get lost that way sometimes.

You put them down and then you placed something else on top of them inadvertently

Last week I found I had left my missing keys in an outside door lock. Last year I found them in the recycle bin as I had laid them down and then covered them on some papers that ended up in recycle. I have started using and glancing more often at the hook where I put them, to make sure they are there and not misplaced in some crazy place.

Failing that, behind the pillows near the arm of the couch.

Oh wait, that’s where MY keys are. Sorry.

On top of the dryer?

In the pocket of the jacket you wore last week?

In your 7th graders' backpack?

Under the garden gnome? No, not that one, the one at the back of the garden. If not there, how about the garden gnome in the side yard? No?

Look in the purse you were using last week but swapped out three days ago for your current one. Yes, go check it out. Those keys might be in the inside zippered compartment.

They're not? Well, let me think. Have you double checked that place in the garage? Yes, I mean the secret place where you hide, well, never mind what you hide there, have you looked there? Oh, the keys aren't there.

Let me think. Double check your secret stash. Yes, you know the one I mean. Look there. I'll wait.

Hooray, you found the keys!

Thank you. So happy to be of help.

35. Look in the door lock

Come into the house with a double arm load of stuff, stick the key in with the knuckles of your left hand, get the door open with your knee, and rush to the table to drop the stuff. Close the door and put the stuff away not realizing the key is still in the lock on the outside of the door.
