I woke up on time one of the days of the last week and got ready to go to work, as usual, when I realized that I cannot find my car key! Something that had never happened to me in my life and particularly in the past 15 years that I own this car! I have a spare key but has given it to a relative and they are nearly 15 min. drive away. I could get a cab to wake them up. However, this is the benefit of having two cars!
I just got the newer one out and drove to work. The funny thing is that the Check Engine Light had come up the night before on the way home, for absolutely no reason and I wanted to drive the new car and it happened! I thought it was somewhere in the house but couldn't find it and then it hit me: What if I left it in the car? I went to the relative's house the next day and I got it. When I opened the door, it was in the vehicle and in the ignition! Someone could've easily stolen the car by simply breaking one of the windows or getting in somehow. This could be a benefit of living in a sketchy neighbourhood! The same care was broken into twice when I lived in Downtown Calgary and nothing was ever recovered: Flashlight, CDs, GPS, you name it! Getting off the subject but the only reason I lived there was my partner who never wanted to live somewhere else. Another disadvantage of being in a bad relationship!

I don't remember how this happened but it could be getting some shopping out of the trunk and forgetting the key inside.
