I think I lost my house keys on the tram this afternoon. No ID on the keyring, but I’m still uneasy. What’s the smart “first 24 hours” plan so I’m not overreacting or, worse, doing nothing?

I keep a photo of each key on my phone with a note of which door it’s for. Sounds nerdy, but it speeds up replacement and avoids the “which one was silver/round?” confusion when ordering new copies.
Act the same day if you can. First, check the likely places and message the transport lost‑property desk. If your address isn’t attached to the keys, risk is lower, but not zero. If you’ve ever lent keys widely or can’t rule out where they fell, rekey the main entry and any door that shares the same key profile. Change any codes associated with garages or gates. I once lost mine near a café and did a same‑day rekey for peace of mind. For Melbourne help that can get you sorted quickly, I’d call . They rekeyed the front and back, handed me a couple of fresh copies, and I slept fine. After that, label keys with your phone number only, not your address.
