Unlocking Mystery of Key Ownership

Thursday, February 27, 2014 @ 10:54 AM

Prince George, B.C. – So you’ve lost your keys?

First stop should be at the Prince George RCMP detachment, where  dozens of lost keys are turned in each year.

Not all  sets of keys are  reunited with their  rightful owners though, and  Corporal Craig Douglass says often, they remain in a cardboard box at the reception centre, waiting for the owner to show up and claim them.

Such is the case  with the batch of keys in the photo above.  Even an oversized  tag that  that reads “Keys  I Haven’t Lost Yet” wasn’t enough to spare that set from  ending up in the  box  of unclaimed  lock openers.

If you recognize any of the keys above,   you now know where  they can be found.

I like the other set of keys that says “what happened last night”……..uhhh I lost my keys duh!!

TB War Vets had a very effective lost key campaign for a number of years starting in the 1950’s. Don’t see those key tags around as much, where you could just drop them in a mail box to find the key’s owner.

TB War Vets is still active and still has the tag program. I don’t know anybody who participates, however.

“TB War Vets had a very effective lost key campaign for a number of years starting in the 1950’s.”

I remember that. Do you remember that too?

Actually, I just got some in the mail a week or so ago for the first time in a long time.
