Naturally, the first thing you want when you lose your car keys is to get back on the move. In the modern age, we are dependent on our cars for both work and leisure, so losing access to your car is like losing a limb!
One thing to remember if your car keys are lost, then the first thing you should do is phone the local police station. You never know, the keys may have been handed in. If not, then you should inform the police of your details so they are aware of the situation. The worst case scenario is you may think you have 'lost' your car keys, but in fact they could have been stolen.
Once this is done, get onto a locksmith specialising in cars. Known as 'auto locksmiths', there will be plenty in your local area. Normally mobile, they can come to you to help you gain access to your car and provide you with a new set of keys.
If you have to wait a long time for your auto locksmith to arrive, do you have a spare car key in the meantime? Then as soon as possible, move the car to another location if you are leaving the car unattended. If the keys have been stolen, there is a high chance the thief knows where the car is located too.
If you haven't got a spare key, then try to disable the the car somehow (remove wheels, battery etc.) so that, even with a key, the car can't be moved. Alternatively, block the car in so it is impossible to drive away in it.
