Call the police now - it's stealing the keys by finding.
She must call the police!
Yep, if you find lost property you have a duty of care and are expected to hand the item to the police/lost & found as appropriate depending on the item/location at the earliest convenience. She must call the police!
Also, I find it hard to believe that someone leases a car and has no paperwork whatsoever to confirm that it is theirs and giving this random good Samaritan your insurance document to take away is bonkers. I'd definitely be giving the 111 number a call and be speaking to a lawyer to before contacting my insurance company to report lost keys - some policies have a specific process for dealing with a lost key situation which could involve contacting the manufacture for a new set.

A lawyer? Really?

Agreed. Think the OP has now distanced himself from this farce. Think I will too.funkyrobot said:

Knock knock.
Crunch as door falls off hinges.
'Hi. I found this donkey outside. Is it yours?'
'Do you know who I am?'
'No.'
'Ronnie Pickering.'
'Who?'
Boom!

The guy posted the key through her letterbox late last night so she found it on her doormat this morning
She told me he was mid 30’s and his wife is a police officer, so maybe something to do with that.
She said she was just so surprised he didn’t give them to her when he knocked on her door the first time.
He held them o it right in front of her face and she was so excited and thankful he found them and when she went to reach for them he snatched them back and said he needed proof.
It’s been a bit stressful as she’s been relying on lifts and an unreliable bus but she’s just glad she’s got it back now.
Guy is obviously just a strange one or on a bit of a power trip.

Just reading the thread wound me up, the guy sounds a complete tool. He needed a firm talking to. Did he use the phrase "computer says no" at any point?The guy posted the key through her letterbox late last night so she found it on her doormat this morning

There are simply loads of ways to prove the car is theirs, contents of car, insurance paperwork (I could call mine up on my phone in seconds), reg doc (I know, it doesn't prove ownership), other keys on the fob which open other stuff.

She was shocked as she had a child seat in the car and although not an immediate neighbour, is a known local.

All very strange.

What a complete toss pot.

Sounds like he has got his Mrs to run the vehicle through the computer to get keeper details to confirm her story. The guy posted the key through her letterbox late last night so she found it on her doormat this morning
