Wow, you are so lucky. Maybe the OEM leather case also helped it grip the roof. But I would be very thankful.

Wow that's a close call. Imagine if it had been crushed and you had turned your car off!

Keys... roof?

it's time to change your keys into a card that fits in your wallet.

What happens if the keys are on the roof, you're going 70 MPH, and they fly off into the abyss.

Thats crazy! Your incredibly lucky.

If your key somehow flew out of the window while your on the freeway your car will still run. You can try it out safely at home. Start your car then walk out with your keys, your cars still running. Safety feature I guess.

Lots of luck on your side. Always remember to keep the keys on you at all times.
