We’ve all been there — reaching for our car keys only to realise they’re nowhere to be found. That sudden panic can throw your entire day off track. Whether you’re stuck at home, stranded in Glasgow, or worried about security, losing your car keys is stressful.
At KeyCraft Scotland, we specialise in car key cutting and programming across Scotland, and we’ve helped hundreds of drivers get back on the road quickly. Here’s a simple guide on what to do if you’ve lost your car keys — and how to make sure it doesn’t ruin your day.
1. Retrace Your Steps
Before assuming the worst, take a deep breath and check everywhere you’ve been. Car keys often turn up in places like under car seats, coat pockets, or between sofa cushions. Many “lost” keys are simply misplaced.
2. Check Lost & Found Nearby
If you were out and about, contact local shops, cafés, or transport offices. Many people hand in found keys, so it’s worth checking right away.
3. Keep Your Vehicle Secure
If you think your keys may have been stolen, make sure your car is safe:
- Use a steering wheel lock if you have one.
- Park in a secure, well-lit area.
- Let neighbours or site security know if your car is in a shared space.
4. Report the Loss if Needed
If you’re certain the keys are gone, it may be worth reporting:
- Insurance company: This helps in case of theft or if a claim is needed.
- Police: Especially important if you suspect theft.
- Other property managers: If your keys included access to an office, building, or home.
