Sounds like a good plan to me. Will, I think the people stealing the Keys should be put in jail for more than a year. It may prevent others from vandalizing them if they know they could go to jail. Heck, if you only get a year for stealing one, it's only a slap on the proverbial wrist to tag one. I don’t see what’s so funny about that Retirement plan? Sounds like a good plan to me.

We thought the Quilted Key was missing too but it turned out to be near 7th street not 6th street. I feel lucky that we got to see the Francis Scott's Key before it was stolen. The very first key was missing so we went inside the Arts Council to ask about it. The Shabrow Shoppers Key was there because it was being fixed, but the man in the office let us see it. He also helped us by telling us which keys were missing and informing us that we could find the answers to some scavenger hunt questions on the web but definitely not all of them. We have one question we can't answer. We thought we had it right but the man at the Arts Council said it was wrong. The question was about the baseballs on the Baseball Key. How many baseballs are on the top (handle)? I said five. I even got a boost so I could look on top. Does anyone know the correct answer? I really appreciate the hard work the artists did on the keys and the artwork. My favorite key is the Key of Keys. We looked at it for a long time. The longer we looked at the more things we noticed, like that some of the keys were uncut, some were old, and there was a spot where it looked like a key was missing but was really there in a way. If I had the money, I would buy the Key of Keys at the auction. I hope the people who are abusing the Keys are put in jail for at least a year.
