Default My SC might as well be the Bermuda Triangle

A couple of weeks ago I was getting in my car and dropped my key down between my seat and center console, I was in a hurry so instead of trying to squeeze my hand down there and what not I decided to go inside and just grab my spare key. Today I decided to actually try to get it out of there and I moved my seat to where the key would definitely be visible and this thing is no where to be found. I noticed there is a tiny vent underneath the seat, it might have gone in there by chance has anyone else had this problem of losing **** like that? If so how did you do it because I can't figure it out lol. Yeah I know wall of text FTL.

I dropped my key once in the same spot and couldn't find it. The next day I moved the seat all the way to the front and saw a piece of it right next to the seat bracket. It was sort-of inside the bottom of the seat. Check there. I dont think it could of gone in the vent. But who knows.

You should get the Stop Drop. Saved me multiple times. Yea that's the AC vent, if you have a strong shop vac try vacuuming the key out from there

I dropped a CD there and never saw it again. I still don't know to this day where it went even after removing the seats twice for cleaning.

It's funny how the car seems to have lots of nooks and crannies where stuff seems to disappear.

My daughter brought a toad into my SC3. It jumped out of her hands and was never seen again.

This thread should be re-titled the official what has your SC claimed from you thread. And this post about the toad is hilarious.

Took us the whole day looking for it... we literary took off everything you can unhook in that car.

Good thing we found it chilling somewhere in the rear.
I'm just glad it didn't stink. My brother let a Colorado River Toad loose in my 71 'cuda and it somehow made it to the trunk, died, and STUNK.
