Poll question: Do You Hide A House Key Outside Your Home?
... just in case you get locked out accidentally. Other than leaving it with a trusted neighbor (who might not be home when you unexpectedly need the key), where is the perfect place to hide a key?

4. Potential burglars would have a hard time finding my house
And anyone would have a tough time finding the key. Also, my landlord lives in the neighboring house which is quite close and he would notice anyone suspicious at my place. He has a key as well.

It's odd for me to lock my door. When I lived in Vermont, I didn't even have a lock. I always left my car key in the ignition as well.

7. I have hidden, in my front yard,
an interdimensional vortex, in which I hide my spare keys, emergency cash, and back issues of Relix.

11. I figure the chances of someone finding the key and getting past
the two dogs are pretty slim.
