Two days ago I left my car at work and I had left the key on the front near side tyre incase the wife needed to drive it home. :? We both work at the same place but both on different sides of the campus and our hours can be different (shift workers)
We car share the 3 series whenever possible because it's a Motorway muncher and as things turned out we both were able to share the 3 series and the Z4MC stayed at work with the key on the wheel. Sounds stupid already but hey ho!
So this evening I dropped my wife at work to leave her with the 3 series. I went to collect the Z4MC, Imagine my suprise when I get to my car and the car key has vanished from the tyre . WTF!!!
I search everywhere I could and started to question every place it could have got to and my own sanity! I clearly remember leaving it there and so went to security to see if it had been handed in. Nothing in lost and found and being dark I went back to the car for another hunt around. I gave up and jumped back in the 3 series. I thought this was so strange who would take a key off a wheel and not hand it in? It was too heavy with the key ring to blow away. The key ring was a big leather and chrome BMW one and the weight of that and the key and the protection from the wheel arch would mean that was pretty much impossible! So I was starting to think the worst. A thief must have taken it! Now probably waiting for the right time to nick the car! Etc etc. I drove home to get the spare key as now worried my car could be taken. I also turned the house over looking for any places the key might have got to just incase i had gone completely mad. 
So 23:15 the wife phones me from work, she had been to security too and looked around the car. She then phoned me on a her second visit to check the car park.
She found them! By the fence on a grass verge 3 meters from my car. Now how would that happen? A thief took them scaled the fence and dropped them. That's how! So as I mentioned earlier my key ring is made of leather. That is now pretty much all chewed to bits my wife said! Awaiting picture!
The thief was a sneaky london fox! So pleased my wife managed to find them! What are the chances of her finding them in the dark?
