So I tried to go make spares for my RAV4…

… can you believe they were out of the blanks for that kind of key!?!?

The guy behind the counter at the hardware store apologized and said someone had come in earlier in the day and used up every single blank of that type.

Who makes THAT many spares at one shot?!

Grrrr!

    Eek! Sounds suspicious. Or else they were just taking a page from Holly Golightly’s book in Breakfast at Tiffany’s when she made 27 spare keys to her apartment so her boyfriend wouldn’t think she was a (key) loser…

    Hmmm.

    At least you CAN go the hardware store and have a spare key made. I just got a Honda Element and it has a code chip in the key. If I want another one it will be about $25 (and a week from what I hear).

    Thats really weird that somebody would make that many spare keys at once.

    maybe it was someone who keeps losing his keys. I dunno.

    They should have a limit on how much a person can buy at a time and at least not leave themselves without stock *sheesh*

    I think the man was jesting you…that sounds awfully suspicious but didn’t want to sound incompetent saying he didn’t have the model to begin with…*shurgs*

    I’m thinking this guy’s planning on doing some creative thievery. I’d keep a close eye on yours.

    Maybe that guy has a key fetish? Are there such things?

    Those RAV4 keys make such a unique sound when they jingle against each other, especially when you have between 30 and 40 of them…

    What?

    Lydia locked the rental car’s keys in the trunk! It turned out OK after I called “roadside assistance” and they sent a local guy out to make a spare key. Didn’t cost anything either, which is fair considering the cost of renting that car!
