As a kid living at home, we never locked the door of the house, no no house key needed. Only when I got a car and started working did I have to carry keys. In all the years since, I have not once lost a key. The keys for the El Camino have been in constant use for 27 years. They are made of brass and have worn a LOT. They are pretty thin. The door lock is tricky, and if my wife has to drive it, I just give her my spare keys which are the virtually unused original set. The keys I carry have no trace of logo, or chrome plating. It is all worn off. My 911 key is the typical black plastic key but the Porsche script is worn down on the plastic part.
When we went to Alaska for 2 weeks, I kept my keys in my pocket, even though I was 3,000 miles of so from anything that the key would work with. The keys are either in my front pocket, or in the lock of whatever they fit. At night I get ready to go to bed, I put them in the spot where my wallet, ring and pocket knife go. They all go back into my pockets when I get dressed.
That really is one reason I don't want to upgrade to a newer car. All cars have GIGANTIC, super expensive keys now.
