I recently purchased a 2011 Kia Sorento with one of those smart keys. Smarter than me. I've tried to lock it and it would not lock only to realize I had not turned the key off. We all get distracted at times.

I've locked my keys in my car once and it was a total pain. Now I have a Nissan with the push button ignition. I love it. You can't lock your keys inside the car or trunk. I never even have to take the fob out of my purse (unless someone borrows my car!).

I left my car running once. The engine was so quiet I didn't notice. Even forgot to lock it! Luckily one of the guys in a different car noticed it and took the keys and locked it. He kept the keys until I got frantic searching for them. Everyone had a good laugh, but my face still turns red remembering that!

When we lived at the beach in So Cal our elderly neighbor lady left her car running in her garage. When she came back out it was gone so she called and reported it stolen. The police found it backed into a carport at some apartments that were across an empty field from us. They figured it slipped out of park and the emergency brake wasn't on.

So it crossed 2 beach lanes alone!

My 23 year old pregnant grand-daughter didi the very same thing at the County Fair last year. Ran for 3 hours but the security guys prevented anyone from stealing it.

It's not old age!

I don't have a "car keys" crisis but I have had the same feelings as you have lately. I am 61!

I sewed some quilt blocks on upside down not even realizing it! So I ripped the blocks apart to redo it and I sewed them back on the same way! Upside down!
I took a break!

Sometimes we all have these days! Don't worry!

Been there, done that!!:):)

Yep, did this once and my son was in the car in his carseat.

Oh no, that would land you jail now!
