Mysterious bending keys when in pannier!

[joanna]

not sure, they were new from a charity shop, think they might be Halfords though. They have a hard back board, front pocket...

Time for scooby doo to investigate.

I think we need photo evidence of the crime scene (pannier).

I only have the keys in the pannier when I'm cycling - so it's happening then. Yep, will definitely think about getting an ipod strap or something instead, or I guess if I had them in a pocket that would be better. Hopefully won't happen again.

I'd tell you to add a camera and light into the said bag, but then, the camera (and light) might get banjaxed too, and then you'd have no photographic evidence at all.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME.

I watched a TV programme about Uri Geller. The next day I found that a Yale key in my pocket had bent itself in a perfect smooth curve, I couldn't have done it with my fingers as I had to put it in a vice to straighten it.

Same kind of mystery as yours. Never really mentioned it to anybody but I've never forgotten it. All I can say is that I watched the TV show with fascination and I was about 16 at the time so perhaps a bit susceptible to whatever may have been going on.

I bet it was those pesky kids

You're arriving home so drunk that you are leaning all your weight on the key when using it to open the door.

This has never happened to me.

No, never happened.

How many times does it have to happen before you stop putting keys in the pannier?

 

[Arch]

I think it should be done with ever beefier keys to find out what the limit is! If it's still bending the big sort of thing that unlocks castle gates, we've got a poltergeist strongman on our hands!

It's the Key Fairy - obvious innit?

As Toyah said... It'th as mythtery..

Hi, I realised the same thing on my key ring at first, and then on both of my bikes’ key rings. Today I saw that all keys that are bendable are bend to different degrees but also in different ways. I’m very confused about this, it has never happened before and in the space of a week or two at the most, all bendable keys are bend!
I will post pictures of this tomorrow in the day light. I really don’t know what to make of this

Be careful doing that. If you don't pay, it might get repossessed.
