Oddball question (where to put car keys while surfing?) :-)

[sal]

Most Mercs are like that now.


In answer to the title of the thread, I have to suggest what loads of people must have thought.

Bend over and I'll show you!

LMAO!!!

I use the key pocket in my wettie....

haha...

Thanks for all the input. I really appreciate it! I think i'm going to go with the lock with the loop on it so i can attach it to the cars frame. It looks like i can stick some velcro on it and tuck it away while still attached to the car, so hopefully this will work.

Hmmm....they look like a good idea, but if someone did find it and subsequently nicked your car, not sure that your insurers would be that sympathetic when they find out you'd attached the key to the car, even if it is in a supposedly safe, locked box?

(apologies to whoever posted that thought originally, as i know i've read it somewhere but don't know who wrote it! )

Ummm... Someone has probably already said this, but:

Waterproof bag or something inside your wettie?

Another thought, would duct tape damage a wetsuit?

If not, take two rectangles of duct tape, put the key in the middle and stick them together, then another length of duct tape to attach it to your ankle.

yeah theyre a great idea, at least i thought so until mine got broken into and the key taken (fortunatly they couldnt drive the car away but they nicked what they could out of it).
I been using one of those aquapac things since, not convinced about them either - my key was wet after surfing today, still worked but it was damp.

The main thing is to stop them taking the car, cos if they really want your stuff theyll just smash a window, (so leave anything valuabe at home if possible) disconnecting the coil is a good start (unless theyre watching and see you doing it), i used to have a car with a switch under the dash to cut the power to the coil.

I know someone who bought an old camper van, there was a switch on the dash for a rear window heater, the guy thought "thats odd, theres a switch here but this van has no heater in the rear window", so he hit the switch out of curiosity and off went the engine, he was a bit shocked as he was driving it at the time but once he realised what the switch was doing hes made it a feature on all his other vans since.

Damn, yours got busted into? ugh... I dunno what to do, lol. I need to find a waterproof pouch or something...

[Streetlights]

After exhausting my options at locksmiths trying to get a normal key cut (without all the electronic stuff that water would damage) and finding out that no such thing is available for my car, I bought one of these :

I'm very happy with the quality as it's very solid and sturdy, and I can reach up in my rear wheel arch and attach it to the rear spring, so it's completly out of sight.

[Wakka]

^ yup, that doesn't look bad at all...

I also found this:


Aquapac - 100% Waterproof Cases - USA

Not bad. Think i could strap it on my arm under my wetsuit? I could throw the fob into the ziplock bag and then into the aquapac for extra security...

Blacksmith Economic often viewed with suspicion. Blacksmith cheap, however good they may be, often do not get a glimmer of recognition of service requires eyes. Locksmith services suffer from a lot of economic problems, ironically. Blacksmith cheap, preferably called affordable locksmiths, as the name suggests, they are cheap. The old saying goes that everything in the world, should be included. Good locksmith services are no exception to this. Let's just say that Smith Services, Locksmith Services good, often very cheap.
