I found a car key. Tell me what kind of car and what else is on the ring and I will be happy to return them to you.
Location: Uptown

Hi

I lost the key to my Toyota Highlander in the area of 23rd and Lyndale. Not much on the ring except the key itself and the lock/unlock device! Any chance that is what you found?

Hi Roz -
That sounds like what I found. I found them over closer by the Wedge. Any chance you were over there? Anyways, I hope they're yours. I can drop them to you someplace tomorrow if you'd like and we can see if they open your car!
I am working in Eagan until 2.
Let me know what works for you,
Sara

Hi Sara,

Wow--I am thrilled! Yes, I was in that vicinity--thought maybe they dropped out of pocket or purse at Cafe Caffetto.

I can meet you whenever you have time after work--are you in Minneapolis?

Thank you so much!

Roz

Hi Roz - Yes, I live downtown by the Old Spaghetti Factory. I'll be home about 2:30 or so. Where would you like to meet? Is your car stuck somewhere (I hope you have another set!)? I'd like to make sure they're the right keys. Sara

Hi Sara,

I understand and really appreciate your concern about making sure they are the right keys. And I do have a spare I've been using but really miss the lost one as it has the remote start etc. on it.

What would be good for you--I live in SW Minneapolis, 46th St. I am happy to meet downtown or anywhere in-between.

Thanks,
Roz

Hi Roz - Could you meet me downtown? I'll be walking my dog at Gold Medal Park (by the New Guthrie on S 2nd St) about 3 today. There are street parking spots there. I'll have on a long black coat and my dog is a little white with black French Bulldog. Hope this works for you!Sara

Subject: Re: FOUND Keys (Uptown)

Sure--I'll find you--I'll be in a belted brown jacket and I'll have my fingers crossed!

OK! :) I'll have my cell phone with me just in case... 860-343-****. I sure hope they're yours!
