Anyone know what this key is?

Came with my car and dealer said it was too do with the towbar but I don't think it is...

Looks like a bike padlock ?

Possibly you have a towbar with a detachable hook?

 

[badsimian]

No to both...

Hmm...

It really does look like a removable tow bar key though.

Are you sure you don't have something like this under the car?

The tongue and ball could be stowed somewhere in the car, and just a rubber cap over the square hole at the moment.

Ooops it really does look like a bike lock key, kryptonite locks in fact.

They make all kinds of cable locks, hasp locks etc.

Have a good rummage in the car, and check to see if you have anything vaguely lockish anywhere...

And finally, looking at this page: https://kryptonite.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/231011287-Finding-My-Key-Number-

It even shows that style of serial numbers on kryptonite keys.

So now, all you have to do is find a matching lock, could be a cable, u-bar, or like a padlock.

Used by a previous owner to padlock a charge cable when using public chargers? I have a long hasp version and thread the cable loop through the alloy and lock it to stop anyone "borrowing" it.

There is a bike carrier mount on the tow bar so a bike lock seems most likely. I guess that is still with the original owner!
