I'll check them now, been on the phone 90 minutes with locksmiths and AAA. Only animals here are cats and they wouldn't touch keys.
You get around to doing that yet? Things have the tendency to get lost in the weirdest locations, I wouldn't spend a penny until I overturned every rock that hasn't budged for years and especially look in every overgrown patch. Pretty sure I've found at least one thing in that way. Don't put it off as the rarest of possibilities; it probably won't be there but that's where I'd be checking if I hadn't yet.
edit: honestly, if not there, I'd probably look everywhere in the nearby area, areas I specifically never went near, perhaps the entire yard and trying to look in nearby yards. Why? Animals. Animals can be dicks. Seriously, one could have picked up the keys and dropped it elsewhere. If it was one of the craftier crows, it may have kept it. lol
And it turns out for the rebate from AAA, it has to be through a roadside service call,and they only use the one service they're contracted with, and it varies - and then roadsides said membership is wrong just now and you don't have to go through roadside for the reimbursement. So do I trust them and get a locksmith Wed night, or do I call roadside and get towed to the dealer Thu morning...
And on top of all that, the car has a problem somewhere in the fuel system needing to be fixed anyway - on the drive home before the keys were lost, the car died while driving about 35 mph in traffic...
So, whether to get that done at the same at the dealer, or take it to a repair shop. The shop I'd called about it said they can't fix it unless there's a check engine light or it happens every time.
thanks OP, thread made me search for replacement key fobs and I got one for only $10 on amazon

What's the car again?
Just a normal car. But apparently a new key needs the dealer to do a $170 labor lookup just to find a code it needs to make another.
Make, model, and year, I mean, not whether it's normal.
What does it matter?
Turns out, some locksmiths can make them (one couldn't) - but the price estimates were $220-$255, so it's actually cheaper to go the dealer towed.
Dude, you need backup keys, bigtime.It's just I don't put them *anywhere*. They stay in my pocket.
So what that suggests is either, they somehow fell out in a *really* weird way that searching hasn't found, or were stolen out of the car if I left them there.
This is always in my pocket. I use it umpteen times a day and keep backup batteries topped and at hand. Olight I3E EOS COPPER LUXEON TX LED 120 Lumens Miniature LED Flashlight Use AAA batteryI've dropped some things in my car before and would look thoroughly not seeing anything, usually looking in between the seat along the edges, etc. Only until I used a good flashlight would I finally find the things I dropped.
So maybe try looking again in your car with a flashlight and see if that helps.
Wow! Do you have some sort of tow coverage and dealership discount? If I drive my truck into the dealership they will charge me at least $200 to make me a new key and depending on how far I need a tow that can easily be over $100.
$225 all in for a new key isn't bad at all bud.
I was at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival about 10 days ago, walking across a grass field on my quad rollerskates and spotted some keys in the grass. Had maybe a couple of keys, one a car key. I turned them over to a festival helper who was going to pass them onto the lost and found. I submit that it's possible that somebody did something similar. You could call your local city government and/or the police department and ask if someone found and turned in your keys.
