What an awful thing to happen! Normally, when we first started fishing, the hub would carry the keys ... and if/when we separated on the stream, I was locked out of the car. Took to wearing a big carabiniere with my set of keys on it, hooked to the loop on my jeans. Can always get in when needed now! Keep it on a loop the entire time were gone from home so I don't have to remember to take it out of my purse streamside.
