A key locator comprising, in combination:

• a) a bent rod-shaped first member having a first end portion and a second end portion;
• b) a second member configured for selectively retaining at least one key;
• wherein
• said first end portion and said second end portion are opposed to each other;
• said bent rod-shaped first member incorporates a bent interior region between said first end portion and said second end portion;
• said first end portion and said second end portion are not urged against each other and are configured to allow said bent interior region to hang from or clasps an edge;
• said first end portion of said bent rod-shaped first member substantially permanently and flexibly engages with the second member;
• and
• c) a container that is rotatably mounted to said second end portion of said bent rod-shaped first member,
• wherein said container comprises a hinge that attaches a first face to said container, and wherein said first face is configured to move between
• (i) an open configuration that exposes an interior portion of the container, and
• (ii) a closed configuration that seals the interior portion of the container.

A method comprising:

• a) retaining at least one key by a second member of an apparatus that comprises at least said second member and a bent rod-shaped first member, wherein the second member is configured for selectively retaining at least one key, wherein
• (i) said bent rod-shaped first member of said apparatus has a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein said first end portion and said second end portion are opposed to each other,
• (ii) said bent rod-shaped first member incorporates a bent interior region between said first end portion and said second end portion, wherein said first end portion and said second end portion are not urged against each other and are configured to allow said bent interior region to hang from or clasps an upper edge of a side panel of a bag-like purse,
• (iii) said first end portion of said bent rod-shaped first member substantially permanently and flexibly engages with said second member, and
• (iv) said second end portion of said bent rod-shaped first member is affixed to a container;
• b) hanging the apparatus from said upper edge of said side panel of said bag-like purse with the bent interior region overhanging the side panel so that said second end portion and said container is exposed;
• and
• c) retrieving said bent rod-shaped first member of said apparatus from said upper edge such that, when said bent rod-shaped first member is retrieved from the upper edge, the at least one key retrained by the second member is necessarily retrieved.
