£10 reward for a key that only costs £3.50? are you mad?

Re: Latch key kids
 

its more about being able to get into my house. would cost a lot more to have someone come and let me in if i didnt have keys.

Re: Latch key kids
 

hmmmmm but how do you know that they are going to find the key the same day?> you could be waiting weeks for someone to find it and return it, be a bit buggered then wouldnt ya

Re: Latch key kids
 

yeah but theres a chance they find it and ring.....new locks are pretty expensive!!

Re: Latch key kids
 

think about it logically though Emma, you lose your key, no one finds it for a few days/weeks or EVER, by this time you have HAD to get a new lock on your front door because you can't get in...someone eventually finds your key and demands you give them the tenner...for nothing because the key is no longer useable....

Re: Latch key kids
 

In the past I found it handy to have the same type of lock front and back, so that they can be switched in minutes. At the back you tend to have extra things like bolts, so that when you leave your house the front way you are still secure

its been on there for years, grandad gave it me.... at the mo my spare key is at grandads which is about 20 mins away, should probably find someone nearer lol

Re: Latch key kids
 

lol, 20 minutes aint so bad, i'd rethink the reward thing though, seems a bit pointless to me

Re: Latch key kids
 

Could you not leave a spare key with your dad, or a neighbour you trust ?

Re: Latch key kids
 

IT DEPENDS WHO YOU ARE TALKING TO kATE, IF YOU ARE TALKING TO eMMA THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE, HER DAD LIVES IN IRELAND, AND IF IT WAS ME YOU WHERE TALKING TO....I AINT SPEAKING TO MI DAD, SO NO

oops caps, cant be arsed changing it, not shouting really lol

Re: Latch key kids
 

woah flashy caps!!!

Re: Latch key kids
 

also a chance they will find it, rob ya, n then return it to ya fer another tenner.:D

Re: Latch key kids
 

They wont get my address... it has my grandads number on it, im not that daft ;)

Re: Latch key kids
 

My home insurance covers new locks and they send out a keyring with a phone number on offering a reward if the keys are found, so I don't pay for , the insurance does, and fitting new locks to these daft upvc doors is an expensive thing to do !

And yes, give him a key, my daughter has one for a couple of years, no problems, but I insist she always locks the door behind her when she comes in, and NEVER answers the door, ever , at all!
