He had the car open in about 90 seconds and he said "$60", I handed him my visa (I don't carry cash), he said "cash only."   

I remember the day when the local police department would do this for free.

I have even toyed with bringing a spare key to assure that^ doesn't happen to me Kentucky!I have gone on several..umm...how do you say..."jaunts" (picture instead of Ferris Bueller's Day off but going to SDC instead)and I have always worried about being locked out, or losing my keys etc. My worst fear, other than the unknown factors in travelling 4 hrs away without anyone knowing...I would leave my wallet or license somewhere, and I would get phone call that it was found. That or having my spending show up on a credit card reciept! Thankfully I have been unscathed for the most part over the years.

Use a small, flat carabiner and hook your key to a belt loop near your pocket.  If it flies out of your pocket, at least it will be hooked.

^I started doing that about 3-4 years ago, and it has worked like a charm. I carry them on a caribiner daily, clip them on my briefcase/ bag/ man purse, workout bag etc. It comes in handy for sure!

I would say I have lost a few pounds walking the hills, but unfortunately I didn't lose anything, I simply relocated the weight until I got lunch or a turnover etc...If anything I more than likely FOUND some weight and some soreness that I didn't go with instead!

That's what we do, too.  We once bought the really big carabiners and the men would use those to clip the new fancy plastic mugs to belts/belt loops so no one had to carry them. (For the life of me I don't remember how we carried the glass mugs--guess I was too young to pay attention.)


As far as losing something in the park, I lost a hat once by leaving it on a peg in the bathroom. Came back later in the season to try to claim it. They sent me the wrong hat, so I returned it. Not a big deal, but I really did like my hat.

I have never lost anything at Silver Dollar City, or well unless I just lost my memory of it!

Either way, I am now more paranoid after reading this thread than I was before I read it. Now, I will have to start double checking my pockets.

speaking of keys.. i always put them in my pocket while on roller coasters & keep my hand pressed on them till the ride is over. weird, but it works.

i use the carabiners on my plastic mugs, BUT never thought about putting my keys on 1.....  LOL!!!

[Ozark Outlaw]

I'm going to start doing it now. It should be easy enough, just clip the keys onto the belt loop before riding the real loops on Wildfire.

My younger son had a tough time keeping track of his "stuff" this Saturday.  He left his refillable mug behind twice and his hat once.  We didn't notice the hat till after we had got past the turnstiles on the way out, so I had to go all the way around to get back in.   Thankfully, the hat was sitting on top of the cash register in the Reunion Hall when I got back up there.

So no permanent losses, but Geeze!

WOW!!  long walk back, but glad the hat was still there

There is a strong possibility that my husband lost his wedding ring at SDC, it's either there or somewhere else in Branson.  We live with the hope that it got aphalted (is that a word?) over and that it will live forever at Silver Dollar City!

It was his BSA hat given to him by our pastor when he bridged into Boy Scouts from Cub Scouts.  I just had to try to find it.  Thankfully, the Lord was looking out for him that day.
