Did Maybe me really forget my keys/the combination/the darn locked outside my house thing again? Honestly This needs to stop!
- Maybe I should get a spare key made.

Keys Vanished - Panic Sets In!
My soul just about did a triple take when I realized that my car keys were missing. I feverishly searched the entire house, but they were nowhere to be located. I'm feeling stressed because now I have no way to make it to that awesome concert tonight.
I've already scrutinized all the usual locations, like my pockets. Maybe they're hidden somewhere? I even imagined the possibility that a mischievous gremlin might have abducted them.
This is a nightmare. What am I going to say?

Stranded in My Car : A Tale of Two Vehicles
It was/were a scorching summer day and my trusty truck/SUV/car decided to choose/pick/select this moment to fail/quit/break down. I was totally/completely/utterly stranded/stuck/locked out, sweating profusely in the blazing heat. Just as I was about to freak out/panic/lose it, I saw a glimmer of hope: my neighbor's shiny new sports car/convertible/luxury sedan parked across the street. Thinking/Assuming/Hopiing that they might have a spare key/tool/set, I raced over and knocked/rapped/pounded on their door. To my surprise/disappointment/shock, no one answered.
My luck seemed to be as bad/terrible/awful as the heat. Back at my own vehicle/ride/carnage, I tried everything/any trick in the book/all the obvious things to get in, but nothing worked.
Goodness Gracious! I'm Locked Out!
I am so panicked right now. My car trunk is stuck and I can't get in! I've tried every trick in the book, but nothing helps. I'm utterly out of options. I have a deadline to get to and I don't know what to do! Is there anyone who can help me?
- What should I do?
- Is there a way around this?
- Do you know any car mechanics in the area?
I'm feeling incredibly frustrated. Please, any help would be appreciated!
