A really good place to hide a spare key is between the license plate
and the flip down door it's mounted to. Open to door and undo one of
the wingnuts holding the license plate on. Pull the bolt out and line
up the key betwwen the plate and door so the hole in the key is in
line with the plate mounting hole. Shove bolt throught all three holes
and re-secure with wing nut. This may require opening up the hole in
the key so the bolt fits through. Just be sure to put it back after
you use it!
