Well, that reminds me..... I was in college and delivering mail as a summer job. In those days, you could use your own car instead of a mail truck (and you got $3.25 per day for gas money, which in 1970 could buy most of a tank of gas.) At some point in the afternoon I dropped my keys in the trunk, right next to the mail, and then shut the trunk. It was 1 O'clock, and my mom was usually home by 3 O'clock, so I walked to a store and planned to wait. This being my first real job, I called the post office to explain that I would be back a little late. .As it happens, I was more than two hours late. After that, all the regulars would ask "Are you going to get your Mom to help with the mail today" and such.
After that, I did what the regulars did. I got put my keys on a chain and kept the chain attached to my belt. The only problem with the chain is that it wears out the pants pockets. That is now my second set of keys, wrapped in a sock and buried in my pants pocket. I still attach it to my belt when I am traveling, etc.
