First, retrace your steps to all the places you've been that day, checking pockets, bags, and under car seats. If it doesn't turn up, call a neighbor or family member with a spare key. If that's not an option, contact a reputable locksmith to come rekey or replace the lock. While waiting, find a safe, temporary spot—maybe a friend's place or a coffee shop. Once you're back in, decide whether to make a duplicate or invest in a smart lock to avoid future hassle.
