This past Saturday, SilverAeroGuy decided to go for a short mountain bike ride at an area in the town we used to live in. I had a lot of work to do, so I was holed up in my study, CD player blasting, oblivious to the rest of the world. It wasn't until I came downstairs at around 5 when I saw the message light blinking on the machine...
He did almost exactly what you did. Opened the trunk, put the keys down, set about getting the bike into the trunk, got everything squared away, and realized just as the trunk lid fell shut that the keys...were still in there. But then we weren't as lucky as you. He didn't bring his phone, so he had to grab passersby to borrow their phones, but of course I didn't hear him calling any of the four times he tried. And when I finally did get the message, it was almost an hour after his first call and then a half-hour's drive from home to where he was waiting.
There are actually two punchlines to this experience. The first one is that finally, after months of having only one key to that car, about two weeks ago we got around to getting a duplicate key made. Lucky us that this didn't happen before then!
The second one is that two days later, I was driving to work, and when I got there, I found one of my coworkers, sweaty from biking to work, stranded on the back steps with his keys inside the building. So, for the second time in three days, I was Our Lady of the Spare Keys, arriving in a red Saab to bring help to stranded cyclists. :)
