Hey,

I just bought a U-Lock with a cable at a bike shop in NYC. On the way home, the plastic bag the U-Lock was in opened itself and the set of keys with the serial number of the lock fell of and I didn't see it until 5 min later. I tried to go back and see if it was somewhere on the sidewalk, but nothing.
What should I do? Did I just loose my money? The lock was pretty expensive for me amd I'm really pissed. This seems like the highest point of a really, really ****ty day. Now I have neither a way to lock my bike nor any money to buy a subway card. Is there a way to get a spare key with the store receipt? Can some hardware store make another key from the lock for less than the lock's price?

Thanks a lot guys!
