Along similar lines, I have an old 210 Deere I used for 15 Years or so before acquiring my Cub.
The key had a small fob of sorts from some dealer.
Several times I would find the key missing from the ignition and lying on the tunnel cover or on the dirt floor in the barn or on the deck.
I was @ my whit’s end trying to figure out how that was happening as no one was ever around!
There were times I really believed it was possessed by evil trolls!!
Long story short, one day I went out and saw one of my many barn cats ( who thought the seat was made for them to sleep on) batting the key fob with her paw on the barn floor, as if it were playing with a mouse.
To this day, a short piece bailing twine insures that the key is always no more than 6” from the ignition switch.
