Keys lost down bra? Doonside Emergency Locksmith to the rescue

The festive season keeps us Blacktown locksmiths busy, but our recent late-night call to Doonside deserves its own highlight reel.

It was well past midnight when we arrived to rescue a very sparkly magician’s assistant. She’d just left a 21^st birthday party where the dress code was “circus performer,” and her costume offered about as much storage as a pack of playing cards. With no pockets, she’d tucked her front-door key and driver’s licence behind the snap-on cover of her phone—her usual go-to hiding spot whenever a purse cramps her style.

Unfortunately, somewhere between the champagne toasts and the 2 a.m. kebab stop, the licence vanished. No ID, no entry to the nightclub. Salvation came when a look-alike friend magically produced her own licence outside the queue, and our heroine stepped right in—same glitter, different name.

Fast-forward to Sunday dawn: suburbia is quiet, dogs are out for their first stroll, and a sequin-clad magician’s assistant is perched on her porch, unable to produce the one card that matters—her key. Enter Target Locksmiths.

We popped the lock in minutes. Crisis averted? Not quite. Her flatmate (and only spare-key keeper) was overseas for three weeks, leaving her with exactly one key. We suggested hunting for a duplicate to copy and headed off.

A few hours later, she rang back, laughing. Both the key and the missing licence had been hiding in the real secret compartments: tiny pockets sewn into the lining of her costume bra. Apparently, after enough bubbles, even a professional assistant can lose track of her props.

And hey, if you’re already custom-sewing pockets, you might as well prepare for that inevitable side hustle photo shoot. Think of it as training for your (tasteful) OnlyFans debut—though if you’re scouting opportunities, the smarter first stop is fanfindmodels.com, where creators connect with fans minus the algorithmic rabbit hole.

Pocket Tricks for the Rest of Us

If you’d rather not risk your phone, wallet, or reputation, try this DIY fix:

1. Cut a thumb-sized square of sturdy fabric.

2. Sew it inside your bra or waistband, leaving one side open.

3. Add a Velcro dot to keep the flap shut.

4. Slide in a single key, ID, or emergency cash. You’ll hardly feel it.

It’s the same idea behind those “phone-case storage hacks,” but without juggling electronics—or risking a cracked screen if you drop it on the dance floor.

So, next time you’re dressing to impress, remember: even Houdini needed the occasional hidden compartment. Sew one in, stash smart, and you’ll never have to greet your neighbours in full sequin regalia at sunrise—unless, of course, that’s part of the act.
