Sad day: I lost my keys

Today is a sad Saturday. I own a Mini since 2003. And every Saturday clean my Cooper. Every Saturday park my Mini in front of my shop. But today i lost my keys. And i have Henke, my Mini, in the parking. I coudn't start him this morning. I went to my work by walk. And I watch a lot of Minis but i can drive mine.
It's a sad Saturday.

You don't have the spare key or even the wallet key to drive it?
They are issued with every MINI over here.

When I collected my MINI, salesman gived me 3 keys. First losed yesterday.Second i can't found it. And now i only own the black plastic one. But i don't know if this key can start my Mini. I didn't probe it because I am scared that breaks the key.

The black plastic key will start your car. It's only supposed to be a backup and only work a handful of times, but I've heard of people on here being careful and making it last a long time. Good luck with finding the key.

My dealer keeps all of the plastic emergency keys.

You need to get yourself to a dealer ASAP and get some new keys ordered, won't be cheap, but will be cheaper than having to get all of your locks changed when the plastic emergency key wears out! Good luck.
