Bit of a long shot here..

xzanti

Somebody did a very good deed for me last night and I have no way to thank them.. So this was the only means by which I could think of to possibly do so..

I went out yesterday evening to the Phoenix Park for a walk, parked my car at the Castleknock entrance and in my excitement I dropped my car keys (I'm assuming) as I was putting on my headphones and didn't realise they were gone until I had reached the opposite end of the park (Parkgate Street)... I have no spare keys for my car and was in a complete panic as I had left my handbag, purse, phone and a case with about e1,000 worth of makeup in it in my boot.. Anyway, I ended up having to ask some stranger if I could use his phone and he kindly agreed, I called my parents and had them come sit by my car til I reached the other end just incase somebody unsavoury picked them up and drove off in it.. So walking very slowing in the dark back through the inner footpath scanning the ground for my keys.. it took me around 40 very scary minutes to reach my parents, at which stage I was almost in tears, we mulled around the grass for a while looking and were about to give up when an elderly gentleman approached us from the small lodge at the entrance to the park and asked if this was my car… When I told him it was he produced my keys and told me a man had found them, tried them in my lock to make sure they were for my car and then locked it again and left them with him for me.. He had also left a note on my windscreen which I did not spot…

So anyway.. If you are the person who found my keys and left them for me.. Thank You so much

PS.. I know I was very stupid for going walking alone when its getting dark but I had anticipated being back at my car by the time it was completely dark… And yes I am ordering a second set of keys today.

What a typical woman. You're balling your eyes out about makeup that you don't spot a note left on your windscreen?

Nope Nice guess though

Oriel.. The note was tiny and it was pitch dark.. And I wasn't crying.. I said I was close to And I was more worried about leaving it there over night with my phone and money etc in it.. Not to mention my house keys with god only knows what else with my address on it... I think I had every right to be upset.. :rolleyes:

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

she said she'll be getting a second set of keys.. I assumed the backup set wouldn't just be left on her person all the time...
although now that I think about it a more sensible idea would be to leave them at home and ask the parents of friends to bring them to you.

hrm

think before you type


also, it was 1000 worth of makeup... if Ihad that much makeup I'd be worried about it too, although if I had that much makeup I'd probably have a lot more to be worried about.

I'm assuming he was talking about the small time slot from when I get the new set of keys and the time I deposit them to a safe location ?? I think anyway..

Yeh I leave my spare keys at home with my parents in a filling cabinet, wouldn't be the greatest idea leaving them in the car!

Why did he try the keys in the car?? Not just hand them in? He would have looked a bit dodgy if you'd arrived back and he's standing there with your car door open!

Anyway, glad you got sorted.

I suppose he wanted to be sure which car they belonged to before leaving the note on the window...

See this is why I carry a half-brick with me when I go out for a drive; it's cheaper than getting keys cut, and comes in handy during a carjacking....oh and no bastard's stealing my make up...

Sounds like Homer's idea when he was designing a car in the Simpsons. He put a ball on everyone's ariel.

You see if everyone had that, then car thief's would be able to rob any car. Although that sounds kinda communist....all the car belong to everyone.

1000 euros worth of make up? Jeez Bertie you were very lucky there. It would not do to have you without your bit af slap on. Fair play to the good Samaritan there. That lack of slap could have lost you the vote of confidence, phew.

I presume your car had central locking, so it was only a matter of pressing a button to find out which car they belonged to.

Who ever did this probably walks in the park regularly and will remember your car, just leave a large thank you note on the dash.

€1,000 of make-up isn't that much if you're a make-up artist, especially if you have decent make-up brushes too, as you'd expect from a make-up artist.

A MAC pigment is what, €25 or more? (I haven't bought one in a long time.) A juicy tube is almost €20. Decent eyeshadows are €15 each or more per colour, depending on the brand, and a make-up artist has to have a broad palette of colours. If you only have 20 that's an immediate €300 minimum. A few foundations for the different complexions you have to deal with (so you can blend to make the perfect one), some lipsticks/liners, mascara that won't flake off after an hour, eyeliners, concealers, base, they all add up. Plus, they have to be replaced when they run out. If you have the odd luxury item, like Touche Eclat, that takes another pop at your €1000. I suppose you're talking in the region of €200-€300 for the brushes then. And that's the bare bones of your kit, there's plenty more to fill in there too. I'd definitely have been crying at the thought of that being out of commission.

Pass the luck on, I guess.

Yeah sounds about right.. Are you a makeup artist? I'm only starting out so yeah I'm still building on my kit.. Sorry we're getting into F&A territory here now..
