You know, they would probably call the Showbox before they would think to check Slog, Dan. Really.

This is really awesome to post here, but perhaps take down the image and identifying information. That way the TRUE owner of the missing keys can email you with IDENTIFYING information, and you know the right person gets their keys back.

Not that I think there's a huge black market in other people's keychains, but, ya know, just generally good advice when posting "found" items to require the true owner to provide some personalized identifying information.

P.S. woo-freaking-hoo for last night!!!

I think the point here is that this person has zero taste, and her name is Sara, which means she's a girl, which means she's dumb.

You know, maybe someone here might know Sara, recognize her keys, and call her, Kitsch. Really.

Why would someone want to duplicate keys... if they didn't know the location of the person's house? Why would someone claim keys that weren't theirs? For the thrills?

Planning to let Showbox know when they open.

But... thanks for keeping me honest.

What happens in Vegas, stays at the Showbox.

I hope the person who danced from Neumo's down to the Showbox and then took the 5 bus home with me found the debit card her friend lost.

Good idea on letting the Showbox know.

That's a lot of fucking keys. I'm guessing there's one for a mailbox, two for an apartment, so what are the other four?

@10: Dumpster, significant other's apartment, parents' house.

Wasn't Elizabeth Shue's character in "Leaving Las Vegas" named Sara? Funny coincidence.

You guys are paranoid about people copying keys and breaking into your house. If someone actually wanted to get into your place, there's a lot easier ways than copying keys from a photo. Get real.

@12: Yes, but if you'll remember, as Sera told Ben, "It's Sera, with an 'e.'"

@6 Yes, actually, I bought MY friend Sara that same keychain when I was in Vegas in August, and we were both at the Showbox last night, so they might be hers. Looks like posting here wasn't such a bad idea on Dan's part.

I know that Sara too (and hello Callie), and am trying to reach her - I'm pretty sure those are hers. See, this worked! Thank you Dan!

@13 Oh, yeah, I forgot about that...

Maybe she spelled it Sare?
