Beach goers and KEY FOB
To all you beach goers. Just wondering what you guys/girls did with your KEY FOB? I frequent the beach often, usually on the solo tip, and I've been having to take the spare ride.
Getting it wet is the last thing I want to do. And leaving it on the beach gets me paranoid about theft. What do you do?

usually i just put my key fob in my back pack and let it chill on the beach while i go play. Im kind of paranoid but the beach i go to is pretty small and empty when i have gone so i can see if anyone goes near my stuff.
When i got the car I asked the sales person what do i do with it at the beach...and her response was "well its like a normal key" so i asked about it getting wet then she said "hmmm, yeah not a good idea".

actually the FOBs are pretty waterproof... they have a rubber lining on the inside... Mine's gone through the washing machine twice and it works perfectly...even comes out a little bit cleaner!

I bought my husband and I a thin rectangular waterproof plastic container to use. He zippers it in his bathing suit and if I use it when I'm on my kayak, I wear it around my neck. You can buy them in surf shops.
I also got a mini waterproof dive pouch at the airport of all places. That one's a little bigger, but you can even put a cell phone in that one too. I think it's made by Samsonite.
Here's some similiar to it.

or bury it in the sand, lol
Just remember to place a maker for your self to remember where you put it (ie; stick, water bottle, towel...)
We were fishing a while back in kern river and I watched my key flop out of my pocket
roll down the side of the rock i was sitting on and drop into the water 
. It took about a second to register what happened, and as I saw the current begin to move the key I threw myself into the water and gave chase 
, after a few tense seconds I was able to grab the key from the rocky/slippery bottom. I thought the key was toast but i tried unlocking the car from the side of the river where I stood and the thing worked perfectly 
.
So long story short, I wouldn't tie it to your shorts like you would a normal key but our fobs can withstand a dunking now and then.
