Before I moved to Norway, I owned a Ford Taurus (affectionately named Blue Belle). When I first got the car, I kept locking myself out. I solved this for my previous car (not so affectionately called The One-Eyed Brown Beast) by keeping a spare set of keys in my wallet. For whatever reason, I didn't do the same with my Taurus.
After locking myself out for about the fifth time, I decided to get the one of those magnetic key boxes for my Taurus. If you're not familiar with them, they're small metal boxes with magnets on the bottom. You stick your keys in there, then attach them to something metallic under your car. The idea is that you have a spare key easily accessible, but somewhere most people won't look.
I went over to my friend Jeremy's place for help, so we could try to figure out the best place to install it. We got underneath the car and started looking around. "Where do you think we should put it?" I asked.
"Next to this one?" he asked. Yep, that's right. There was already a set of keys in a magnetic box under the rear of the car. All those times I was locked out, the keys were right there. Oh well.
