There’s really no major way of knowing this for certain besides retracing your steps and establishing an event horizon based on the last time you saw your keys. If you remember recently using your car keys to open your trunk to place lots of bags of groceries inside, there’s a high likelihood that you got distracted and accidentally stored your keys away in the trunk absentmindedly. Just make sure they’re not on the floor next to the car, or secretly in your pocket – you’d be surprised at how often that actually happens!
