With the cool air of the AC filling the room I was enjoying my sleep for sometime when my wife heard a strange noise at the door and woke me up. I thought it was a dream and asked her for time. It was 1.30 AM, my eyes lit up wide. Who could be at the door at this odd hour? Believing it to be a hoax I walked till the door and the sound of the knock started becoming heavy.

Me: Who is it? (Peeping through the Key hole)
Stranger: I am your Neighbor and you house key is hanging on the key hole.
Me: Thank you (I am still watching through the key hole & see the stranger (neighbor) walk away from my door)

I slide my hand through the small gap that I have after opening the door & get the keys of my door. The whole set main door key, mail box key, car main key & the valet key.

It wasn’t a dream. The keys had been hanging out on the door for 6 hrs and no one bothered to notice it including us (oh yeh, once inside the house who needs a key).

So taking the keys I walk back to mrs who is sitting wide awake on the bed with all the lights on

Me: We forgot our keys on the door
Mrs: What?
Me: We forgot to get the keys of the door in the evening
Mrs: lucky no one stole it or else someone would have vacated it tomorrow.
Me: how did we miss it (I am already back to my sleeping posture, speaking with my eyes closed)
Mrs: good someone took the courtesy to inform us (verifying all keys were their)

We have been lucky that our neighbor decided to knock at our door at the odd hour and inform us. We appreciate your concern.

Thank you neighbor !!!
