Thank you for your wonderful post. Did you have a LEGAL question in there somewhere??

yes am in my legal right to fill out a complaint, and do they have to replace my keys ... they were on the key ring when they picked up the jeep and now they are not... is there something i can legaly do to make sure that they search around cars that are found on the side of the road.. my daughter was very lucky and i have told her that. things could of been worse had she been hurt somewhere on the side of the road... thanks for taking time for this i know that it isnt very much but i am very worried that no cop would of taken his or her time to check...

Of course you have a legal right to "fill out a complaint". You can complain to anyone who will listen.

and do they have to replace my keys ... they were on the key ring when they picked up the jeep and now they are not

Unless you can PROVE that they were negligent or malicious in 'losing' your keys.... AND that they had control and custody of them... the answer is no.

is there something i can legaly do to make sure that they search around cars that are found on the side of the road

Nope. But you can certainly ask them to.
