Lost TV

[sully0919]

If someone who was at the Titan picnic at JR's Festival Lake in VA on Sept 20 found a small boxed TV in the middle row of their van, please give Ken a call at 703-494-0612 or 703-681-3085. I thought I was putting it in my friend's Mercury, but it turns out his key fit your Mercury van and I placed it in your van by mistake. Thanks.

Holly **** dude , thats bad news.. I wish we could help you find this person.. but its very hard to find a car like that + one that fits the keys.

I never thought 1 car had the same key pattern :|

Now that really sucks..

WOW maybe you put the TV in the right car and forgot to lock it and sombody came bye and stole the TV.


I think the ability of a key to work in multiple cars is a LOOONG SHOT to say the least. I am not saying it couldn't happent but, come on of all the Mercury Vans in the United States and you find the one that fits your friends key exactly.

I think sombody stole the TV, after you dropped it off.

Or the car you put it in, was already open and the key was able to be inserted into the lock and it looked like it worked. hmmmmm... that could happen I guess

That sucks and I hope you get your TV back Sully, but you gotta admit thats a funny way to loose a something. I believe every word of it. The same thing happend to my wifes Grandpa, he walked up to a handa accord that looked alot like his, parked right next to his and unlocked the driver side door and got in. But the key would not start the car, he got back out to ask us for some help and thats when my mother-in-law noticed it was the wrong car.

Hope you find the TV. Could it be possible that the other Mercury was not locked when you put the key into it?

You guys look at the date of the post?!? I think that poor guy's tv is long gone and considering the fact that that was his first and only post he probably is also...

If you have ever watched the show Repo Men:Stealing for a Living, you will see that on some American cars there are as little as 8 different keys to open doors for EVERY car made that year!!!!, especially if it was an older car (you know with one key for the ignition and one for the doors). Not saying this is what happened but a possibility none the less

Not highly likely, but the Feds used to tell the manufacturers that they only had to make 1000 different keys per model.
I read a story about a guy that went jogging. We'll call him Bob. When Bob returned from his jog, his Chev truck was gone. Apparently, someone who looked like him had a heart attack on the jogging path. We'll call him Fred. Officials took the keys from Fred's pocket. Fred was not breathing. ( he had no I.D. on his person)
These keys just happened fit the Bob's truck that was nearby, so they drove it to impound. They got Bob's name from the truck registration.
Then they called the Bob's wife to come down to the hospital and identify the body. Apparently Bob and Fred looked similar, and with the puffiness, she thought it was Bob. In the meantime, Bob called home and got no answer, so he called his Sister in law...who told him that his wife was gone to the hospital to see him....so he went there, and walked in on his grieving wife...She was just a little bit surprised, as you can imagine.

And the moral of these stories is...
Leave your TV at home and enjoy the fresh air.

Yep, I agree totally. That was worth it. Thanks IMADOGMAN!

[pagerdaddy]

Now that you mention it, when I was a teen my Dad had
a 1969 Ford Mustang. We later bought a 1973 Mustang,
and the key from one would work the other. What are
the odds of that?

YW Titan420, I wish I could remember the source of that story. As I recall...it was a true story, but lots of other things were coincidental, including the type of clothing that they were both wearing, and also they both had the same color of truck.

[Titan420]

That's amazing, just think, how many different probabilities had to go just right for that whole mix up to happen the way it did. Also, how often does someone go to the morgue to ID a loved one, then see them walk through the door?
