Silver Yale keys on blue lanyard
I lost my silver Yale keys on a blue fabric lanyard yesterday around 3pm near Mission Plaza on Garden Street in San Luis Obispo. The set includes two standard house keys and a tiny black plastic tag with my apartment number scribbled in Sharpie. One key has a small dent on the head, and the lanyard sports a tiny palm-tree sticker from a coast trip. They’re a bit scuffed from daily use, and they open my apartment building; it has sentimental value because the lanyard was a gift from my grandmother. If anyone found them, I’d be really grateful to have them back.
