The key question....

Louise has spent the last five minutes on the phone to a lady who has lost her keys.

She spoke to me last night. She lost her keys on a bus yesterday afternoon, of that she is certain. In fact, she said she knew she dropped them on the bus because she heard them hit the floor. So she asked the driver to come and look for them - which he did, but couldn't find them. She knows she dropped them there though, and to prove this the person sat behind her heard them hit the floor too! Except that she apparently looked and couldn't find them either.

So, to recap, she claims she heard her keys fall on the floor of the bus. The driver and another passenger looked at the time, but couldn't see them.

She rung last night to ask if they had been handed in. They hadn't. I said we'd check the bus again. We did - they weren't there.

She rung again this morning to see if they had been handed in. They hadn't. This is not a surprise given that the driver and another passenger looked at the time and couldn't find them, and we checked the bus again last night.

She is on the phone again now wanting to know if they have been handed in yet and explaining that we must have them, because she definitely heard them fall and hit the floor of the bus at the time. Even though the driver and another passenger checked at the time for her but couldn't see them. And even though we checked the bus again last night. We must have them.

I feel sorry for her really because she is clearly confused and without her keys, but she is insistent we have them and we just don't! Where do we go next?!?
