Good News/Bad News Hide-a-Key

The good news is that it's much more stylish than the old-fashioned black iteration that's been around since magnets were invented.

Yo, joe, magnets weren't invented — they were discovered.

Well excuuuuse me.

Where was I?

Oh, yeah, beignets.

No, that's not right.

Hold on a minute while I get my bearings.

No wonder I'm having trouble — they're rolling all around me on the treadmill.

Better be careful or this post will end with a crash, what?

But I digressed.

The bad news is that once you get the darned thing in your hand from out of your super-secret hiding place under the car or inside the wheel well, you have to remember the combination to get the stupid key out.

That's gonna frost you plenty, I promise.

Anyway, for those who are willing to go where no key hider has gone before, here's what it says on the website:

GE® Locking Stor-A-Key™

Locking key storage with super strong magnet.

Never get locked out of your car again.

GE Security has taken the spare key hide-a-way to the next level with a super-strong rare earth magnet and a resettable combination lock for added security.

Also includes strong double-sided tape for non-automotive applications.

A thoughtful gift for anyone who drives.

If this is any indication of where GE's headed, it's no wonder Warren Buffett doesn't own any.

Assuming, as I am, that he doesn't.

At least, I've never heard him talk about it like he does Coca-Cola and Geico and the rest of his long-term holdings.

$13.95 (And yes, Flautist — I'll be happy to send you a key).
