Lost Keys while Shoveling Snow

We all love the snow, until it gobbles up our keys! Nothing is worse than searching through a foot of fresh powder looking for lost keys in the cold. However, if you have Tile, your keys are just a sweet tune away from being found. The following story is from our amazing community member in Illinois, who has lost his keys several times while performing annual winter driveway maintenance.

I live in Illinois. Last winter, we got a ton of snow. While I was shoveling out my driveway, I lost my car keys. They apparently flew right out of the pocket of my hoodie.

I should've known that could happen because it had happened to me before, when I lived in Alaska! And it happened the same way -- hoodie, driveway, shoveling, exact same scenario. In Alaska, I ended up renting a metal detector and even that failed to find my keys. I had to get a whole new set made. My keys reappeared only after the snow melted (which was months later).

But this time, after digging around at every spot where I thought the keys could be, I used my Tile. And when the little song came on, it was much further away than I thought it would be. My keys hadn't just fallen out; they had fallen into snow and I had apparently scooped them up and thrown them across the driveway into a big pile. I would've never found them!
