Default lost my only key, cars locked.

So i was at the pool with some friends and i got a bit too drunk and had someone drive me home. Later that day i realized i didnt have my key anymore. Its been about two days now and still no luck finding it. What are my options at this point?

Car's locked and at the local pool, i have another disco 2 key fob for another car. Can i reprogram it for my car? But then i would still need a physical key to start the car. Is there a way to hot wire it?

It's dealer time. A locksmith can get you in, but most likely won't be able to deal with fob and alarm.

not familiar with us spec
dealer should be able to supply the code for locksmith to cut the key from (free)
and you can start the car using EKA code (if you dont know it again free from dealer)
some diagnostics can code the S/H plip to your car

Why in the hell is the title in your glove box? Are you trying to give your truck away? Someone breaks into your truck and finds the title all they need to do is forge your signature, write up a fake bill of sale and go to the DMV and its theirs, not a God Damn thing you could do about it either.
They say they paid you cash, you say no, they have the title, you have nothing.

You need to break a window, get the title, take it to the dealer as proof that YOU own the truck, they can cut you a key and then you can unlock and start and drive the truck and then buy a new window.
That is your ONLY option, the dealer will not cut you a key without proof that the truck is yours.

sometimes insurance cards and id will work. But its up to the dealer. They may want proof you live at the address and proof you own the car some other way.

And they will not do it without the vehicle getting towed to the shop.

And you can open the car and start the vehicle.

If this pool was at a commercial place or apartment complex, stop by and offer the custodian some folding money if they find (or have found) the key. Ben Franklin sounds cheap right now.
