They were right next to the BFG, past the vaulted doors, which is to the right of the cookie jar.
Actually, I think I know how they got where they were. Not like the person in question would actually admit it, but going through the path of least resistance has allowed me to reach a logical conclusion.
Hint: The Keys on the counter were not the droids we were looking for.
ooooh, TIME PARADOX'D
SPOILERZZZ: Theory: Mouse and I have the same style backpacks. When she was upstairs, she most likely went and put her keys in my backpack (which, oddly, no one searched), mistaking my backpack for hers. The keys downstairs and on the counter were Val's, because they were no where NEAR as bulky as the ones we were looking for. I realized that when I actually found the keys. So yes, the keys were stashed in the back pocket of my backpack. Supporting evidence for theory:
1.) No one is a jackass enough to hide the keys for a prolonged period of time, stuff like this has never happened before. A corralary to this is that no one would touch someone else's keys. So the only logical handeler is the mouse. The keys are waaaaaaaaaaay to large to be mistaken for anyone else's either.
2.) Our backpacks are pretty much identical, and in my not-so-bright room they can be easily mistaken for eachother. Both similiar size, both jansport brand.
3.) The keys on the counter/table that I saw were significantly smaller. So the last logical place for the keys to be would be upstairs, considering their lack of appearance downstairs.
I'd put down materials, methods, and citations, but I'm too lazy. What I'm suprised about is that no one (including me) bothered to look into my backpack. Ah well, que sera sera.

The only flaw with your theory b-yaaaaaaatcheeeeeee, is that I knew your backpack was beside the bookshelf the minute everyone was stuffed in your room. I went there to get my keys when i had just put in Robin Williams. I think ...urgh...utah brother...saw me snooping around there and thats when I realised thats not my bag. Infact, I had to make him move his chair to get to my bag. So I knew my bag was the one next to your bed all along. That being said at some point, as we were teaching val calculus, I got my things downstairs so i wouldnt forget anything. only thing that was left was the laptop cord, which you got for me. I knew I hadnt left my ekys on top. they were downstairs with me all the time. I was playing with them when I was sitting on the couch, with Chris, that houses your family porn.
That being said, yours is a plausible explaination if I hadn't noticed your bag there 15 minutes after I had entered your house. I never put my keys back in my bag let alone ANY bag.
So the question remains. But I care not. I want my keys back b-yaaaaaaatcheeeeeee! I'll come on Sunday...not Saturday..hosting a thing in LA so cant drive down.

Theory #2:
Well, you went to get your laptop from upstairs after chris came, right?
I think what happened is that we went upstairs to get your laptop, you put the keys down at some point on the desk, when we were putting in the code for wireless internet the keys in some fashion were swiped off the desk and dropped into the open back pocket of my backpack below.
Bottom line is that no one woulda touched the keys but the owner in question. The pocket they were in is always wide open because the zipper is broke. The laptop was moved downstairs after chris came. Logically, if you had the keys in your hand at the time, or with you, chances are you coulda put they keys on the desk, wherin there is a chance that they were knocked off and fell into the maw below. The back pocket has tissues in it, and possibly muffled the sound of their fall.
So: Keys in hand when get laptop --> put on desk when handeling laptop --> during process keys knocked down into pocket below.
So, does this get published in nature or what?

at this point I'll take your theory with a grain of salt.
sounds more logical that my martian/gnome theory.
yours does make a lot of sense...but damn thats a long jump from the desk to the bag. But whatever, like I said, i'm over it. I know when I had it and when I didn't...so i mean as long as its been found I'm happy. Its funny, your gut feeling was true all along.
Anyhow, my car has conked out. so I can't drive out on my own. you're home on sun and sat, yes? I'm dependant on someone else driving me there so i cant confirm the day.

it didnt die-die. actually I havent checked up on it...it made funny oooh-i-might-be-dropping-parts-out sounds on my way back to LA from your place...and when I finally got here and shut off the engine it made the wierdest metallic sounds, instead of the usual waterdrops/silence.
I'm not taking it out. To me its good as dead. my dad doesnt want me even starting it. he aske dme to call the mechanics guy if i am comfortable talking. i dont know jackRocket Power. so i'm going to have to learn up on the net and call them and see whats up.

Well, least school is going well. And shower door now? Your manager needs to be slapped...
And now a word from my sponsor:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK THE AGONIZING WAIT TO KNOW IF I'M GONNA BE IN MED SCHOOL THIS YEAR!!! DAMN IT, I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE, THIS IS HELL!
Addendum:
My FIRST two interviews were also at top 20 schools as well. Why must they tempt me. I'll know about Northwestern by February 24/25. I'm essentially dead in California as well. Fuggers.
