When Rubbish Thrown Away is Not Actually Rubbish
Every year, people throw away some truly valuable things. Sometimes, it can be things that people don’t realise were worth a lot of money. For instance, JK Rowling, at the very start of her career, did an interview with a man called Nigel Reynolds. She reportedly gave him a first edition copy of the first Harry Potter book, The Philosopher’s Stone to say thanks. He wasn’t convinced it was any good and chucked it away! Recently, first editions of that book have sold for £50,000 and even more.
Although he wasn’t to know that book would go on to have the massive cultural impact it has had, that doesn’t really explain why so many people throw away keys. It is thought that more than 10,000 car and door keys are accidentally thrown in the rubbish and end up at tips every year.
Most of us have lost keys at some point in our lives, but you just end up feeling a whole different level of embarrassment and frustration when you realise you have chucked them in the bin. What’s more, an alarming number of people have been known to head to the rubbish dump themselves to try and locate their keys. Which is o obviously not safe or recommended.
You could avoid this from happening by keeping a closer eye on what you throw away and in the worst scenario, don’t try to hunt down your keys. Instead, whether you require a Liverpool locksmith , a Sheffield locksmith or even a Bristol locksmith, get in contact with a trustworthy locksmith in London who can solve your key dilemma.
