Has anyone seen my keys?

[deadtrend1]

to my SOM? Yep ... lost 'em, the ONE set I had. So now I gotta pay 400 bucks + to have a lock smith come out, replace the ign cylinder, find the vats resistance, & cut a new key for the doors. When this is all done, I'm making doubles for everything I own.

Here is what baffles me though. I came home from work at 5:00, parked the car, went into my house, watched TV and didn't really go back out. I never set my alarm when its here in the driveway and somehow at 10:30 last night the alarm is going off. (like someone pressed the panic button).

So I'm looking for my keys to shut it off and they are missing .. conveniently. So, I think I must have dropped them in the yard and someone picked them up and is screwing with me.

So I undid the battery terminals, rolled it back to the end of the driveway, pulled my LT1 out, pushed the SOM straight back up the driveway, and parked the LT1 behind it. Its blocked in now and closer to the house.

I have one of two theories:

1) stolen/found and someone hit the panic button and ran off. And now they know what car the keys are for.
2) Gremlins, ghost, poltergeist or some other paranormal activity in my house. :mrgreen:

[chrisfrom nj]

someone is going to steal your car keep it blocked at all times

[V]

wow, that sucks, id suggest a new lockset for the doors and hatch just in case someone did get the keys.

and see if theres a way to reset the bcm so new fobs have to be reprogrammed.

[69BirdX]

I lost my keys to the stang last week and it was my onlly set luckly i found them. Doesnt the alarm go off if you set it but leave a door open?

[BobonaStick]

I'd go wit #2... it's the ghosts from down the street... definately keep that thing blocked in or somethin tho..

[FIcamaroRE92]

could they be in the couch or chair that you were sitting in at the time, thats where I find mine when I loose them

[NJSPEEDER]

Dude, they are right over there : points that way:

[jims69camaro]

they will always be in the last place you look for them.

[Featherburner]

they will always be in the last place you look for them.
Unless they are stolen.

[Knipps]

I only have one set for my car too. It's a scary thought. GL on the hunt for them because you know as soon as you pay the locksmith to come out and change everything you're going to find them.

they will always be in the last place you look for them.

why would he keep looking if he has already found them? :-P

[NJ Torque]

they will always be in the last place you look for them.

"Hey George, have you found your keys?"

"yeah, but I'm still looking for them, just in case i'm in a parallel universe or something"

SOM bitch!

Doors, hatch, t-tops and glove box use the same key. To switch them all over, that will be more money i don't have.

If I get a new fob and re-sync it, I think it will render the old one useless ... I hope. I need to find the wedsite I posted her a long time ago that told me the FID numbers for the year of my car.

[bandit88]

i go with number two
i think i know where they went tooo

[Slow96LT1]

u can go to the dealer with the vin # and all ur paper work and they can just cut the key it would be like 100 bux

[deadtrend1]

not anymore. Called them, supposedly GM doesn't give out VATS resistance by VIN anymore.

Or at least that's what Classic Chevrolet told me. They wanted me to tow it there.

[Slow96LT1]

if u tow it there it might be cheaper then a locksmith

[Lt1_8U]

could they be in the couch or chair that you were sitting in at the time, thats where I find mine when I loose them

thats what i figured lol

you should just re-trace your steps

[deadtrend1]

thats what i figured lol

you should just re-trace your steps

good idea, i didn't think of that .. :moon:

heh .. i did. Flipped my whole room upside down and inside out. I'm leaning towards gremlins or underwear gnomes.

[FIcamaroRE92]

How far of a walk from your driveway to your house is it???? Do you live in a neighborhood where that would happen, not ball busting, becuase I do lol...

[bandit88]

like 10 feet. Neighborhood is not bad at all. Just sometimes random kids walk by.

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

AHHHHHHH!!!!!! That sucks. Ugh Classic Chevy....they are a bunch of idiots there!!! Hopefully you come acrossed them soon!!! Good luck with your hunt!

[FIcamaroRE92]

well that could be the problem, random kids walking by, could have saw him drop the keys, and went in and jacked em' The alarm going off at night suggests you have a joker on your hands.

[WayFast84]

Didn't you have other gremlins recently?

[69BirdX]

cant we all loan you diffrent keys................they only had 5 or so diffrrent combonations right.........or is that just the Vats

[CivicEaterLT1]

how much does it cost to make a extra set of ignition and door keys?

[deadtrend1]

cant we all loan you different keys................they only had 5 or so different combinations right.........or is that just the Vats

there are 15 VATS resistance values

how much does it cost to make a extra set of ignition and door keys?

20 bucks if you hae the originals. Lots more if you don't (like me)

[deadtrend1]

Didn't you have other gremlins recently?

Yes. They stole the keys for my 86, keys for my Saturn, my IPod ITrip adapter, any tool out of my tool box that I am looking for right that second, and talk about me when I'm not around.

[bandit88]

ummm you need gremlin bells in all your vehicles, the garage, and the shed ;)

[WayFast84]

Yes. They stole the keys for my 86, keys for my Saturn, my IPod ITrip adapter, any tool out of my tool box that I am looking for right that second, and talk about me when I'm not around.

LOL. Should have learned your lesson when they stole the keys for the 86...

[qwikz28]

if you walked through the grass, try cutting the grass with a lawn mower and seeing if you find the keys, if they get ruined, at least you only need new keys and not new locks

Raked the whole lawn front and back ... :(

[Featherburner]

Raked the whole lawn front and back ... :(I think you dropped them in my yard. You should come rake mine too. :mrgreen:

[bubba428]

did you look under the seat?

[deadtrend1]

did you look under the seat?

you're not serious, right?

[bubba428]

dude I've done that so many times...anything in that left pocket, phone, keys, money it all ends up under the seat, I think I have $4 in the camaro from that...I'm just saying, I've put the keys in my pocket and jumped back in the car to get something I forgot and poof, that kwick...took my 3 days to find em

[Fire_Chicken92]

ummm you need gremlin bells in all your vehicles, the garage, and the shed ;)


OR put bells on the gremlins, that would solve everything!

Except I still think they have to be around your house somewhere, check the fridge (I've done that before). And the bathroom. If you dropped them in the yard you def would have heard them, right?

[qwikz28]

Raked the whole lawn front and back ... :(

wow raking is so much of a better idea than mowing :lol:

i forgot if this was asked, but how did you get in the house?

[BonzoHansen]

keep the keys for my cars on seperate rings since I hardly drive them.

try the dealer in jersey city they will do anything for cash as long u have title ,reg and like 2 proofs of id

why would I go all the way to Jersey City for keys?

[Slow96LT1]

i dont know where u live and it would be cheaper then a locksmith the dealer has to help u out some how speek to a manger in the parts deparment at the dealer by u then and go there with all paper work in hand

[Frosty]

why would I go all the way to Jersey City for keys?

Because they'll do anything for cash, duh!

[sweetbmxrider]

alls i have to say is, that sucks. i would be pissed. with the alarm going off, you have to think something is going on. i would suggest to run through your house a couple more times and dig deep in sofas and such. helps if you have someone else because they will try harder and be less frustrated. good luck

[Slow96LT1]

yeah man, wish i was down there to help you look. as odd as it sounds, i'm very good at looking for stuff

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

AHHHH!! They didnt return your keys yet!!! :( :(
...yeah Tim did you look under your seat? I am sure thats a spot that you would never think to look :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[V]

i say, leave the battery hooked up. and next time it goes off, run outside and see whos in the general vacinity, like i know they may be hiding, but its then gotta be someone within like 100 ft.
