He immediately had a spare key made, which he kept in his wallet, so that wouldn’t happen again. It did happen a second time, again in the truck, but that time he had the spare key in his wallet.
After thinking about it some more, he had a second spare key made, which he kept at his desk.
He thought about it still more and had spare keys made for all of the vehicles, which he keeps in a container at his desk. We have 4 vehicles, so the collection of keys has grown quite a bit.
Friday morning he left to have new lenses put in his glasses. Two hours later the phone rings: “I am stuck in West Plains,” he says. “I locked my wallet and my keys in the truck.”
So then he had to explain where the spare key was in his office. I found the key...
got dressed--well, I was dressed (old t-shirt and a pair of his boxer shorts), but not suitable to be seen in public--and drove to West Plains (about 25 miles away) to rescue him.
They optometrist’s office policy is that he could not wait in the waiting room for the lenses to be put in. He had to wait in the truck, and they came and got him when the glasses were done. In the confusion of getting in and out of the car, he goofed.
How to keep this from happening again? He never leaves the house without his bucket hat, and he never leaves the hat in the car, so he is thinking about putting the spare key in one of the pockets on his bucket hat.
That should work. I hope so.

Keys are a big pain. We have a fob with our car now no more keys... supposively you cannot lock the car if the fob is inside...I have not tested that part! Hope you are staying safe and having a go summer! :)
That is so funny. All those keys and still got locked out. Sounds like something I would do.
