I found what I think is an old car key whilst walking the dog earlier. If i still had a local police station I;d just hand it in for them to deal with, but they're all closed down and the replacement SNT shop front things are not open until Wednesday evening.

The area I found the key in is fairly remote. I went looking for a while hoping to find the car that it would belong to, so I could leave a note for the owner. I was looking for a Suzuki as I assumed the S logo was a Suzuki as I know it isn't a Subaru or Saab logo.

It seems from a little googling that it is actually a SILCA key. It is too old to have any electronics in, and is just a metal key in a hard plastic ending. The code on the back is SX9 AP. Does anyone happen to know what car this might be for?

I don't really want to spend over an hour on a round trip to the police station, or wait until Weds to hand it in. Hopefully a little amateur detective work can at least narrow down the search and the key can be returned.

If you think it is yours please also obviously get in touch.

Seems to throw all kinds of results:

or more likely, https://www.lsc.com.au/Products/Keys-Accessories/K...

Seems to suggest a Saxo or XM from the mid-90s...

You're probably not going to find the owner as there is nothing unique to identify the key..

The good news is that the letter P confirms that you weren't lying about it being plastic.

The bad news is the S has nothing to do with the car brand, its probably a Citroen replacement key.
