Keys Lost On Surf City,NC Beach Found So Owner Didn't Need To Sleep In Car

Andrew placed his keys on the beach and then placed his shoes over them to mark the spot while he walked the Surf City, NC shoreline.  Upon returning, he grabbed his shoes and headed to his car.  It was about 5:30pm when he realized his keys were now buried in an unmarked location.  Andrew notified me of the lost keys at 7:49 and the tide was coming in.  Unfortunately, I was busy planning a trip out of state and reached out to some trusted friends.  I explained to Andrew of the situation and he was planning to sleep in his car until morning when he could contact a locksmith to make a key to allow him to drive home to Fayetteville, NC.  One of my friends finally came through and headed to find Andrew’s keys.  At 10:15pm I received the above picture of Andrew holding his keys.  They were found in the surf and although wet,  the key fob still worked for him.
