When you attach a War Amps key tag to your set of keys, it acts as a safeguard. If you lose your keys, chances are they will be returned to you through The War Amps Key Tag Service free of charge.

When we issue your key tags, the confidential nine-digit number is registered to your name and address.

IT’S TRUE
Generally, I am the most organized person. Ask anyone who knows me. My purse is orderly and has its place in my car. I can locate every piece of important paper in my house. My underwear go in the underwear drawer which is located next to my sock drawer and my desk is always tidy just like the rest of my house. So, after a quick stop to the grocery store for milk, I was dumbfounded when my keys were not in the supposed zipper pocket of my purse!

There I was, freezing my butt off in the darkened parking lot thinking, “This kind of thing isn’t supposed to happen to someone as prepared as myself.” I retraced my steps back to the store, down the hall to the dairy department but there were no keys to be found. I did however locate my frozen butt gorging itself on cottage cheese! I grabbed my butt, seriously wanting to kick it for getting me in this situation and made my way to the checkout I had been at. No luck there either.

Anyway, to make a long story short. Just a few weeks later, a package from the War Amps came in the mail with my precious keys tucked safely inside. Thank You War Amps and the kind individual who found my keys!!
